Kendra Scott Pop-Up Shop


Kendra Scott will have new arrivals and best selling jewelry pieces and home goods available for purchase. All items are discounted 10% and 10% of sales goes back to WBCS.


WBE Led Roundtable Discussions

Sponsored by Anderson Asphalt & Concrete Paving

In an effort to bring more visibility to the wealth of skills our WBEs provide, we're offering WBE led roundtable discussions centered on business themes.


How It Works

There are roundtables of 8 seats. One seat is for the WBE host. The other seats are for participants (women-owned businesses and corporations alike) interested in learning about that table's theme. The host will share her experience on the theme and what has worked well, then open the table to questions.

Once registered for Harvesting Partnerships, there is no additional sign up required to participate in the discussions. Seating is open on a first come, first served basis.

WBE hosts stay at their table. Participants rotate and have the opportunity to visit a total of four tables.


Timeline
Each discussion is 20 minutes followed by a 5 minute rotation.

1:45 – 2:05 …. Discussion 1
2:05 – 2:10 … Transition
2:10 – 2:30 … Discussion 2

2:30 – 2:35 … Transition
2:35 – 2:55 … Discussion 3

2:55 – 3:00 … Transition

Michael Sorrell
President
Paul Quinn College


Dr. Michael J. Sorrell is the longest-serving President in the 147-year history of Paul Quinn College. During his 12 years of leadership, Paul Quinn has become a national movement for its efforts to remake all of higher education to become more responsive to student and societal needs.


Under his leadership, Paul Quinn has gone from an institution on the verge of collapse to one that is now nationally renowned for its innovative approach to higher education. Among the College’s accomplishments during President Sorrell’s 12-year tenure are the following: transforming the football field into the WE over Me Farm in order to battle the food desert conditions of the community surrounding the campus; becoming the first federally-recognized Urban Work College; implementing a business casual dress code; winning the HBCU of the Year, HBCU Male President of the Year three times, and re-writing all of the institution’s fundraising records.

Michael received his J.D. and M.A. in Public Policy from Duke University and his Ed.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. While in law school, he was one of the founding members of the Journal of Gender Law & Policy and served as the Vice President of the Duke Bar Association. He is a product of the small, liberal arts college tradition, having graduated from Oberlin College with a B.A. in Government. While at Oberlin, he served as Secretary-Treasurer of his senior class, was a two-time captain of the men’s varsity basketball team, and graduated as the school’s fifth all-time leading scorer.


Michael is one of the most decorated college presidents in America. He was recently named to Fortune Magazine’s list of the World’s 50 Greatest Leaders and Washington Monthly Magazine identified him as one of America’s 10 Most Innovative College Presidents.

While President Sorrell has won many awards throughout his career, the honor that has meant the most to him was being selected as the “Father of the Year” for the City of Dallas in 2016. President Sorrell is married to the former Natalie Jenkins who is an alumna of Spelman College and the University of Pennsylvania. They have two wonderful children, Michael Augustus and Sage Louise-Sinclair.
