2023 Commencement: ‘DeVry Day’ Prepares Graduates for What’s Next and Honors Alumni As we gather to celebrate more than 3,000 graduates as part of its second annual Commencement Weekend, DeVry University hosted DeVry Day on Saturday, June 10 at the Crowne Plaza in Rosemont, Illinois. The day-long event served as an opportunity to prepare the Class of 2023 for what’s next after graduation through career service workshops, networking, panel discussions, and welcome them into the alumni association at an alumni reception in their honor. The day also provides Chicago-area DeVry students currently in their junior and senior year a sneak peek at their next steps beyond graduation. This year, DeVry Day’s keynote speaker was alumnus Wilbur You, founder of YouTech, a digital marketing group with $1 billion in sales to clients worldwide. He spoke about his career journey and offered graduates sage advice about leadership, entrepreneurship, and success. DeVry Day attendees received copies of his book, “Happy, Humble, and Motivated.” Among the special guests on hand at the alumni reception were Dennis Keller and Ron Taylor, founders of the Keller Graduate School of Management, which is proudly celebrating its 50th anniversary.
