Derreck Chu

Derreck Chu can be found sitting in front of the library, playing video games in his friends’ dorm rooms, or exploring all the different food options in Claremont. Derreck balances his life as a day student in a boarding environment by staying on campus late and taking his friends out to eat on the weekends. He interacts with different people in the Webb community by serving as the senior class vice president, a head day student prefect, a valuable member of the varsity basketball team, and the secretary of the Business Club. A SoCal native, Derreck will only be an hour away at the University of California, Los Angeles, but will miss the tight-knit community and the familiar faces around campus. However, he is excited for the future and looks forward to exploring new subjects. Matt Brailsford (‘18) said, “If I was Derreck’s mom or dad, I’d be proud. If I was both of them, I’d be double proud.” Derreck is an accomplished person who hopes to carry his success in the Business Economics and Accounting fields.
