A 22-year old senior on the Social Science Dean's Honor List, she was posthumously awarded her B.A. in Economics from UCI, and buried in cap and gown. She was a program intern at the Dean of Students Office, staffed the Social Science Resource Center, and served as a student assistant at the Main Library, where she staffed the circulation desk and last year worked for the host of Subversity in the Collections Department. She was a writer and production assistant for RicePaper, the Asian Pacific American newsmagazine on campus. She was also active in her sorority, Alpha Chi Omega. She was the winner of a Teamwork Award of the Saturn Award for Excellence.
Plans are underway for a permanent memorial.
She is survived by her parents, two brothers, and a sister, in El Monte. Her friends have also contributed music to be played during the program. Friends are also asked to call the program to express their thoughts of Judi Luu and celebrate her many accomplishments. Standing by will be members of the UCI Counseling Center staff. They will be forwarded to the family.
