News from Cristo Rey | February 2021 Small groups of students began in-person learning on February 1.
Dear Friends,
Beginning this month, 164 students – about 1/3 of our total enrollment - have elected to return to campus for in-person learning two days a week on a hybrid schedule, with full safety procedures in place. Additionally, our faculty and staff are in the process of receiving their COVID-19 vaccinations. Those of us who are in the building have loved seeing their 'smiling eyes' above their masks – I for one have truly missed seeing our students in person! In celebration of Cristo Rey's 25th anniversary, and in honor of Black History Month, please join us on February 18 for the second installment of our Cristero Chats series. We'll convene this month's conversation around the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace, and what the future of work looks like thanks to our alumni who are now making their mark in Chicago's corporate community. I hope you will join us in this opportunity to connect, share, and learn. Our students' curiosity motivates them to learn about the world around them. They continue to inspire me to continue my learning as well, as we all have a lot of work to do to help make the world a better place. Read on below about the good work we can do thanks to the generosity and support of people like you. And VIVA Cristo Rey!
