Undergraduate Student Research Fuels a Passion for Social Justice and Equity

Friday, April 27, 2018


bio-news-abigal-parker.pngIUPUI senior Abigail Parker showcased her research at the Council on Undergraduate Research's (CUR) 22nd annual Posters on the Hill symposium in Washington, DC. This event took place April 17-18, giving students the opportunity to present research to congressional members, meet with their representatives and learn about advocacy for undergraduate research. 

Parker, majoring in biology and Spanish, has a passion for social justice and fighting for equity. She hopes to use the privileges she’s had in her life as leverage to fight for those who don't have the same advantages. Since her freshman year at IUPUI, Parker has been studying Down syndrome and presented her research on the genetic disorder at Posters on the Hill.
