History
Saint Paul College was founded in 1910 as a boys' vocational high school. The first evening trade classes were held in the basement of Central High School in Saint Paul, Minnesota. [1] In 1966, the college moved into its current facility and became Saint Paul Technical Vocational Institute, or Saint Paul TVI. In 2002, the college added liberal arts to its curriculum and changed its name to Saint Paul College – A Community & Technical College.
Saint Paul College was home to the countries oldest watchmaking and clockmaking programs. In its last few years, it was awarded a grant from Rolex and started offering the WOSTEP certificate, an industry wide accepted certification for watchmaking excellence.
In the spring of 2019, the college briefly gained national attention when a site visit team of the college's accreditor, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), documented several reports from college faculty members alleging that the college president's leadership style was "grounded in fear and intimidation." Shortly thereafter, President Rassoul Dastmozd announced that he would resign on June 30.[2]
In March 2021, Deidra Peaslee was named president, becoming the first female president at the college.[3] A few months later, HLC removed the institution from probation and assigned interim monitoring after determining that the college was in compliance with its accreditation criteria.[4]
