Christian Nunez is well known for his warm personality and his energetic contributions to a wide range of volunteer service programs – especially those related to pediatrics, such as the annual Halloween party for children with diabetes and the Exergaming for Health program. He can also be seen and heard on YouTube harmonizing with fellow students in their a cappella singing group! Christian’s second-year classmates elected him to receive the Gloria Arndt Award for being the “kindest, most compassionate, and most altruistic” of their peers. I think you can tell a lot about someone by who they choose as role models. In Christian’s GHHS essay he wrote about working with a small-town physician that he admired: “Before each of my presentations … rather than delving into the intricacies of their illnesses, Dr. F. preferred to tell me about his patients – not in reference to their medical conditions, but rather with respect to their lives.” Christian completed his undergraduate work in psychology and philosophy at Washington University in St. Louis.
