#QuinniteNation: Heard another rumor that the 2013 Commencement Speaker will be iconic. #NationBuilding

The cat is out of the bag.
Paul Quinn College recently named comedian and activist Bill Cosby as its Commencement speaker on May 4, at 10 a.m.
Cosby will address the class of 2013 who witness the institution transform academically and physically into a model for other HBCUs and suchlike institutions.
The Dallas Observer‘s Eric Nicholson notes how six years ago “wooing a high-profile commencement speaker” was the least of Paul Quinn’s concerns.
But now with retention rates up at 83 percent and being named the “2011 HBCU of the Year,” Paul Quinn College is experiencing one of the greatest turnarounds in the history of higher education.
Indeed, it is safe to say that the college is “Nation Building.”
About Paul Quinn:
The mission of Paul Quinn College is to provide a quality, faith-based education that addresses the academic, social, and Christian development of students and prepares them to be servant leaders and agents of change in their communities.
