Wentworth Institute of Technology Partners with Cristo Rey Network

The Cristo Rey Network is pleased to announce that Wentworth Institute of Technology has joined its growing roster of University Partners, a distinguished network of more than 75 colleges and universities nationwide dedicated to supporting Cristo Rey graduates. 

“We are proud to welcome Wentworth Institute of Technology as a Cristo Rey Network University Partner, and to collaborate with an institution known for its project-based, career-driven approach to education,” said Sonya Ramirez, Director of University Partnerships for the Cristo Rey Network.  “This partnership will create new opportunities for Cristo Rey graduates to grow academically and to take important steps toward achieving their career goals.”  

Located in Boston, Massachusetts, Wentworth Institute of Technology is a nationally recognized institution, known for its career-focused education in science, technology, engineering, and design.  

“Cristo Rey students arrive at college with years of real professional work experience already behind them, something many first-year students don’t have,” said Joe Dacey, Vice President of Enrollment Management at Wentworth. “That makes them a natural fit for Wentworth, where co-op and hands-on learning are at the core of how we prepare students for meaningful careers. We're very excited to join the Cristo Rey Network as a University Partner and look forward to welcoming these students go even further.”
