Sunny Yu

Always radiating positive light and energy to those around her, Sunny Yu is a ray of sunshine. Hailing from Beijing, China, Sunny brought her unique perspective into Webb’s humanities classrooms, becoming undoubtedly one of the most prolific or, as Dr. Dzula puts it, “aggressive” writers on campus. As a naturally thoughtful and compassionate leader, it is no surprise that she took on the roles of the Editor-in-Chief of the WCC, a member of the Chapel Council, the debate team captain, and the VWS varsity cross-country team captain. In addition to her impressive accomplishments and persistent work ethic, Sunny brings incredible sincerity to every one of her relationships. To her teachers, she is an avid scholar who never settles for mediocrity; to her friends, she is the forever affectionate “Guardian of Justice”; to lowerclassmen, she serves as both a role model and a humble and altruistic friend. Most importantly, Sunny is an activist who is deeply passionate about social justice and representation of marginalized groups in the media. Driven by a genuine thirst for knowledge, Sunny will continue to pursue her interest in the social sciences and STEM at Stanford University by studying the intersection of these disciplines. Although she will miss reading on Jameson Patio, singing at Jubilee, and being the most enthusiastic Webb mafia organizer, there is no doubt that Sunny will bring her laughter to the Stanford campus, where she will continue to be the “Guardian of Justice” and the sun’s embodiment.
