CWSP Recap
Looking back at 2015-2016 and looking forward to 2016-2017
With gratitude, we look back on
another year made possible through
stellar partnership and great work.
On Friday, June 3, we watched all of
our seniors receive their diplomas
and begin the next stage of their
journey. We celebrate 100% of our
seniors graduating and going on to
college—80% of our young women
from ICA Cristo Rey are going to
4-year universities and 20% will
attend a 2-year college. We are
preparing our young women to
accomplish their goals in the real
world. This is our mission and we truly
could not accomplish it without our
community of supporters, teachers,
supervisors, and all who guide our
graduates as they lead their lives
toward sustained success.
As we cheer on our graduates, we
say a bittersweet goodbye to two
members of our CWSP Team. Program
Manager Nicole Cecchini will move to
Houston, TX, this summer, after four
years of priceless leadership on our
team. As the architect of our M.A.P.S.
curriculum, Nicole built the core of our
program and has worked to create
meaningful work experiences and
skills development for our students.
We will miss her, but we are grateful
for her contribution to our team and
her lasting impact on our program.
We also say goodbye to Program
Coordinator Mary Clare Mazzocchi
as she begins a Master’s degree in
Theology at the University of Notre
Dame. As a final note, we want to
say special congratulations to Bill
Olinger, who has been a member
of our CWSP team for the last two
years and will now assume the role of
Director of the Corporate Work Study
Program, as Tim Szarnicki moves into
the new role as Director of Mission
Advancement. We will also welcome
a few new faces to our team as we
see our enrollment grow to almost
360 young women next year. We
look forward to introducing you to
our team and to the continued good
work we will do in the 2016-2017
school year. Next year our community
of business partners will be the
biggest it has ever been. We look
forward to our on-going collaboration
and teamwork as we continue to
provide the promise of a work-study
experience that truly changes the
lives of our young women.
Throughout the year, we came
together to help form young women
who will go forward equipped with the
skills they
