.221 Jude Tungul

Jude has one of the most inviting and contagious smiles out there. He’s someone I can always count on to give me a boost of good energy and of course the occasional sassy remark. When we first met, I remember being inspired by how smart he was in class, and that combined with his compassionate personality was enough to make me want to be quickly become friends.

Over the course of our time at GW, seeing Jude and having classes with him was always such a treat. He brings such good vibes to the room and he’s a true sweetheart, through and through. His honesty and vulnerability were like superpowers that enabled us to really chat and get to know each other, and I am so grateful for that. When I saw him in 2019 in Chicago, it felt so warm and wonderful. Being around Jude is a pleasure and he brings out the best around him with those in his life.

Jude, thank you for being such a kind and caring friend and for always getting me to laugh with your wit and fabulous personality. Thank you for being so sincere and grounded, and thank you for being so empathetic with your words and actions. Thank you, Jude, for being you.
