7 About Paul QUINN COLLEGE Paul QUINN COLLEGE is one of America's most interesting and innovative small colleges. PQC is a private, faith-based, four-year, liberal arts-inspired institution that was founded by the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Austin, Texas, on April 4, 1872. The mission of the school is to prepare its students to be servant leaders and agents of change in the global marketplace. Members of the COLLEGE 's student body, alumni, faculty and staff, called Quinnites, embrace the institutional ethos of "WE over Me" and are dedicated to honoring the "Four Ls of Quinnite Leadership" (Leave places better than you found them; Lead from wherever you are; Live a life that matters; and Love something greater than yourself).

8 In 2007, the COLLEGE entered into a new era symbolized by its institutional ethos of WE Over Me and the Four Ls of Quinnite Leadership : Leave places better than you found them; Lead from wherever you are; Live a life that matters; and, Love something greater than yourself. This new era has resulted in numerous national honors, including being named 2011 HBCU of the Year, the 2013 President s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, and 2012 HBCU Student Government Association of the Year.
