A Reminder That At Saint Paul College, Our Mission Is Our Anchor.
Make A Gift Today “In a changing and uncertain world, it feels like everything is shifting all at once.”
President Deidra Peaslee, Ed.D., shared these words with our college community earlier this year—not as a warning, but as a call to clarity and purpose. She reminded us: “Our mission, vision, and values are our anchor. That’s what keeps us grounded to do the work of educating the most diverse student community in Minnesota.”
At Saint Paul College, we know who we are. We know what we stand for.
And we know that our students are counting on us to stay true to that mission—especially now.
Why This Moment Matters
Saint Paul College is doubling down on our mission to empower students to lead purposeful lives and discover rewarding careers. We are excellence-minded and equity-driven.
At a moment when many institutions are calculating risk, we’re calculating impact. As the most diverse institution in the Minnesota State system, we serve students whose aspirations, challenges, and successes drive our work every single day.
Our commitment to equity and inclusion isn’t just about education—it’s about building a more just and equitable future for everyone. It’s about empowering individuals, strengthening families, and enriching our entire community.
Through Vision 2028, we’ve set a bold goal: to graduate 1,500 more students of color from academic programs that lead to family-sustaining jobs. This goal reflects who we are and the legacy we want to leave.
Your support has never been more critical. This year-end, we’re asking you to stand with us. Every gift ensures our students—regardless of race, background, or circumstance—have the support they need to thrive and leave Saint Paul College with the skills, confidence, and opportunities to succeed.
Stand With Us
As President Peaslee said, “To fully become the institution our community needs, we must continue to transform learning, valuing the needs and aspirations of our students, and ensuring that every student leaves Saint Paul College with the skills, confidence, and opportunities to thrive.”
We need partners who share this vision. Together, we prove that our values aren’t negotiable and our commitment to students is unshakeable.
