GHHS Member Sandy Tun

Sandy Tun is from Spring Valley, IL and earned her bachelor’s degree in biology at Illinois Wesleyan. She is also active with GUIDES and many other community service projects and extracurricular activities, including the a cappella singing group and the dodgeball club. She has coordinated presentations for fellow students on topics such as social and racial health disparities. In supporting Sandy for this honor, one of our faculty members noted Sandy’s strong academic performance while observing that he believed that “Sandy’s motivation to succeed in medicine is inspired by her desire to serve others with the greatest care. In patient rooms, I often observed her ability to put patients at ease and to relate to each person on an individual basis. It is rare to encounter a student with the enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, and sincere dedication I see in Sandy.”
