About Me

Hi my name is, Tom Des Lauriers and my career with DeVry University began in 2004, I was hired in the Business Information Department, and later I was moved to the Computer Information Department and then to Web Graphics and Multi Media Department. I was assigned the position of Department Chair for the Web Graphic Design and Multi-Media program in May 2010. Here is a little background information about me. I am a retired Marine Corps Officer, after severing 21 years I decided it was time to move on to bigger and better things. During my last 15 years in the Marine Corps, I was a Financial Manager and Programmer. I then opened my own Bookkeeping and Tax Company, which I ran for 15 years while I also went back to school and got a BA in Elementary Education, and taught 4th & 5th grade for a year and decided to then go back to school and get a Master’s degree in Instructional Technology in Education with a concatenation in computers. I also attended Keller Graduate School and only need four more classes to finish another Masters. I taught at Coastal Carolina Community College and New Bern Community College while attending East Carolina University for my Masters. The wife and I moved back to California where I took a full time position at West Valley College in Saratoga, CA as the College Web Master and a Lab Faculty Specialist. In 2003 when California had its last major budget, problems I elected to retire and we moved to Texas to be closer to our daughter, her husband and our Grandchildren. I taught part time for the first year I was here in Texas and then I accepted a full time teaching position at De Vry University, Houston Campus. I also served as the Faculty Development Coordinator for my first three years. I also maintain my own web servers one which is located at http://www.tdeslauriers.com and one at http://www.toms-asp.net so if anyone would like to know more about me you can visit my web sites, you will also see lots of links to students work. I have taught most of the class in the CIS Department and still teach a class as needed in the CIS Department from time to time; and I have taught all of the classes in the Web Graphics Design program and most in the MDD program.
