Spotlight on Chuan Vo HCC '99 to '01 (ND '03)

Originally from Sarasota, Florida, Chuan Vo was the first of his family to be born in the US.  His parents and older siblings came to the US from Vietnam as refugees after the fall of Saigon. Today, he lives in a condo in the trendy Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago’s near north side.  His passions for photography and Web design keep him busy as a freelancer when he is not at his “day job” as a Systems Analyst for the Walgreens Corporation. 

Chuan followed his oldest brother and sister to Notre Dame, IN.  His brother, Khanh was President of the Student Activities Committee at Holy Cross and is an alumni from the Holy Cross class of ’95 and ND ’98. His sister, Oanh Vo-Liu, graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1996. Currently, she acts as President of the Notre Dame Alumni Club of Chicago.

Thanks to encouragement by his friend Tory Mitchell ’05 (also from Sarasota) Chuan became active in many Holy Cross student committees until he transferred to Notre Dame in ’01 where he became co-president of the Vietnamese Student Association and graduated with a BS in Management Information Systems.  

Lately he has been active in the Holy Cross Club of Chicago. In fact, you may have seen his work designing the websites http://www.hccchicago.com, the Ave Crux website, and creating a logo and flyer for the Holy Cross Alumni Club golf outing. He has also created materials for Holy Cross College Parents' Weekend.
