Lauren Bergeron, '21, was one of just 60 students nationwide chosen to participate in the Council on Undergraduate Research's "Posters on the Hill," an event designed to showcase current student research for federal lawmakers and other government officials.

While the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of both April events, she can take solace knowing that Albion is represented among the country's top student research programs.
