CRISTO REY NETWORK Gray Plant Mooty is pleased to partner with the Cristo Rey Network, an organization that provides a faith-based college preparatory education to young people from urban families. Cristo Rey students attend school four days per week. On the fifth day, they work in a corporate setting to gain hands-on experience and offset tuition costs. We hosted two Cristo Rey students at our Minneapolis office in


2011. “I was able to do things that I have never done before in my life,” said Jestine Dennis, one of the students. “I was given a lot of responsi- bility, and I could tell that the firm really trusted me.” Jestine said she gained valuable new skills at Gray Plant Mooty that will prepare her for success. “I learned how to act professionally, and that once you set your mind to learning or doing something, you can do it. All you have to do is keep trying.” After earning her bachelor’s degree from the College of St.


Scholastica in Duluth, Jestine is considering either attending law school or pursuing a career in advertising.
