An Investment in Students’ Lives
Dan ’80 and Janet ’83 Dryer have reached out to lift up another generation of Johnnies and Bennies by creating a scholarship for Cristo Rey Jesuit High School graduates. The Dryer Scholarship will fund an SJU/CSB education for four outstanding Cristo Rey Jesuit students each year. The first four Dryer Scholars start classes this fall.

Doctors serving on the front lines in New York City. A physician formulating strategy for the Mayo Clinic. A local doctor making worldwide online house calls. Entrepreneurs transitioning from distillery and drone consulting to hand sanitizer and face shields. Educators moving from the classroom to online learning. However it can, the Saint John’s community is battling the pandemic.

Jim Lies share virtually everything else – their Central Minnesota roots, their exceptional story of family and faith, and their profound appreciation for their undergraduate educational experiences that launched remarkable careers of service to the church and to humanity.
