On July 24, the Tujenge family lost their beloved STEM instructor, mentor, friend, and brother suddenly and unexpectedly. Brad had a profound understanding of Tujenge’s mission and contributed a great deal to shaping it. Tujenge held a memorial for Brad in the classroom shortly after, in which students shared stories and memories of Brad and had the chance to comfort each other. The loss is enduring, but Tujenge students and staff remember Brad’s philosophies on life, and continue moving forward to improve access to education for the most marginalized in the world – a cause that Brad cared so much about. No one at Tujenge, including future cohorts, will ever forget him, his sense of humor, his wisdom, or his profound insights.
