College turns its football field into a farm and sees students transform

Paul Quinn College, under President Michael Sorrell, transformed its football field into an organic farm to address financial challenges and improve student outcomes. The college adopted an urban work college model, requiring students to work on campus to gain skills and reduce tuition costs. The farm serves as a learning platform for business and agricultural skills. Students adhere to a dress code, with penalties for non-compliance. The college emphasizes community service, addressing local food deserts by donating farm produce. This innovative approach aims to prepare students for careers while engaging with their community.
