EVENT: Fourth annual Sujal M. Parikh Memorial Symposium for Health and Social Justice

Sujal Parikh was a University of Michigan student who passed away in October 2010 in Uganda where he was doing research on AIDS as a NIH-Fogarty Clinical Research Scholar. Shortly after his death, Parikh’s parents, friends and several global health organizations with which Sujal was involved created a fund to finance the kinds of issues and causes about that he supported.

The annual Sujal M. Parikh Memorial Symposium for Health and Social Justice began as a collaborative effort among friends and colleagues and is the major initiative supported by the memorial fund. Each year, the symposium brings together more than 200 students and professionals from academia, health professions, nonprofit organizations and the general public to generate new ideas for the advancement of health and social justice.
