Be a Wolf for a Day!
We encourage all prospective students to come and see what Detroit Cristo Rey has to offer. Starting in October, prospective students are invited to come and spend the day with one of our student ambassadors. Shadow Days are offered Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm. You can request an ambassador or get paired up based on mutual interests. You will follow your ambassador’s schedule, and meet with the CWSP and Dean’s Office.
