Sister Emmanuel Renner Award honors an alumna for her service to the College of Saint Benedict and recognizes her contributions as a leader, steward and volunteer to her alma mater.
Alumna Profile: Janet has had an undeniably successful career in business. She has been named one of the most-admired CEOs in the Twin Cities, a CEO of the Year, an Entrepreneur of the Year and a Titan of Tech. But she is also a dedicated volunteer and a passionate advocate. Recently, that has led Janet and her husband Dan (SJU ’80) to create the Dryer Scholarship at CSB and SJU. Each year, four graduates of Cristo Rey Jesuit High School – two Bennies and two Johnnies – are selected to receive about $20,000 annually (enough to finance the gap other sources like Pell Grants and Minnesota State Grants don’t cover). Their hope for the scholarship is to send over 100 students to college.
