Past Geeks
SoCal
Sam Chavez
Describing herself as shy, Sam Chavez doesn’t tend to make a lot of noise, especially with her fashion. Usually, her main requirements for clothing are simply that she wears a shirt, shoes and pants. The type of items that fall into that category haven’t been very discriminating. But for a career in business, she knows how important a good presentation is, especially when it comes to first impressions. Sam hopes to take the same expression she shows in her artwork and bring it to her wardrobe. Watch her video and learn more about her passions and how DeVry is helping her turn them into a great future.
Shamsud Doha
He’s a newlywed, a DJ, and originally from Bangladesh. Shamsud Doha definitely has a few things going on. And when you add college to the mix, it can be pretty hard to work in a shopping trip. But between playing cricket, using the latest networking equipment and preparing for a great career, Shamsud is ready to add a little style and sophistication to the mix. Watch his video and learn more about what he hopes Geek to Chic will do for him, and what earning a degree at DeVry will do for his future.
Grant Gardiner
With his passion for video games taking up four or five hours of his day on a regular basis, Grant Gardiner had a great idea - why not turn it into a career? But between his video and collectable card games plus classes in DeVry’s Game and Simulation degree program, he wasn’t winning any points for style. In fact, his friends think that he just throws on whatever he finds on the floor before he walks out the door. But now Grant’s looking to change all that. Watch Grant’s video, learn what Geek to Chic could do for him and how DeVry and his love of gaming can help him score a great career.
Julie Sweeney
Working as a nanny isn’t the first thing you’d expect of a college student, but for Julie Sweeney, it’s a natural fit. Balancing school and working with kids is pretty hard on her fashion though. Wearing t-shirts and jeans makes it easy to go from chasing after kids to running off to class, but it doesn’t make the fashion statement Julie is going for. And when it comes to making it in the business world after graduation, Julie wants to make the best impression possible. Watch her video and learn more about Julie, what DeVry is doing for her future and what she hopes a great makeover will do for her style.
Justin Yukon
A tinkerer with a military background who has a passion for electronics and horseback riding. Now that’s someone with a wide range of talents. But between these different interests, his style and fashion haven’t gotten as much attention as Justin Yukon would like. Can you blame him? There’s only so many options for your choice in hairstyle when you spend 12 years in the military. But now Justin’s ready for a change, and he’s taking his love of experimentation from electronics to his looks. Watch his video to learn more about Justin and see how DeVry matches his eclectic talents with a wide range of possibilities.
