Hello, my name is Kelly Collins, and I am the graduate support coordinator at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School. I joined the Cristo Rey community in July 2015. I earned my bachelor’s degree from St. Catherine University and a master’s degree in higher education and student affairs from the University of Iowa. I am the oldest of five children and the first in my family to go to college. My collegiate experience inspired me to dedicate my career to the college access and retention of students from low-income and first-generation backgrounds.
