Success Stories

College guys receive opportunities for famous after appearing on the Campus Men website.

Campus Men offers you a chance to participate in a fun and exciting experience. Appearing as a Campus Men is a great way to leave your mark during your college experience.

However, some guys take it to the next level when they discovered being part of Campus Men to be an excellent springboard to bigger opportunities.

Modeling and Acting Careers

Many talent agencies sign our Campus Men. They have appeared in movies, music videos and on TV including The Oprah Winfrey Show, in TV series and national TV commercials. We do not promise you will become a model... (Most guys only want to have fun and meet girls.) However, you never know who will see you as a Campus Man. Those who wish to try their hands at modeling or acting can use the exposure they gain from Campus Men to get their foot in the door at auditions or agencies.

One guy appeared in national ads for Banana Republic and Merry-Go-Round stores. Several college guys appeared in nationally distributed magazines such as YM, Teen, GQ, Playgirl, Playboy and American Photo.

Others worked at Club Med, or became "Chippendales."

Past students did not receive these opportunities without effort. These guys worked hard to accomplish their goals. Exposure from Campus Men is what you make of it, but when a guy tries out for an opportunity and mentions that he was a Campus Man, he usually gets more notice than other applicants. After you work with Campus Men, you will have gained modeling experience because you will have participated in video and photo shoots. This will be experience and on the job training you can use in the male modeling or acting industry, if you wish.

College guys worked with Campus Men later appeared in:

  • "Deep Impact" movie
  • Playgirl Magazine
  • Playboy Magazine
  • Chippendales
  • Oprah Winfrey Show
  • Jenny Jones Show
  • GQ Magazine
  • People Magazine
  • American Photo
  • YM Magazine
  • "J.A.G." TV series
  • "Profiler" TV series
  • Allman Brothers music video
  • Celine Dion music video

Girls and Fun

If acting or male modeling is not your thing, some opportunities can be more silly than career-oriented. One Campus Man had his bare butt autographed by a female radio DJ during a visit to a radio station.

Producers from the Oprah Winfrey Show contacted us because they needed a student for their show after seeing our Campus Men. You never know who will see your photo...

Finally, Campus Men will always be something you can show your grandkids in 20 years!

ShootPrep

After working with thousands of new models and college students, we know the concerns, issues and questions many new models have before their first photo shoot. It is normal for even the most macho guy to be nervous prior to his first shoot. We compiled all this training info into “ShootPrep” – our dedicated site for training models with whom we work.

Our photographer uses ShootPrep.com to train new models before their photo sessions.
