The Graphic Design program at College of DuPage strives to prepare students for the real world. Many of our students receive scholarships to transfer to a four-year school, while others hit the ground running with paid internships and full-time jobs. Listed below are several College of DuPage Graphic Design alumni that are having success after completing our program.

Zach Mory
Zach Mory is a designer and artist and yes, it’s totally ok to be both. After finishing his MFA in art from the University of Wisconsin- Madison in 2008 with an emphasis in drawing, Zach enrolled in COD’s graphic design program in 2010 where he learned to take his obsessive mark-making sensibility and turn it into thoughtful, well-crafted design. Zach is proud to say that he can now wear both hats: that of an artist constantly pushing his own body of work forward and that of a designer making awesome identity design and illustrations for his clients.
