I chose to go to The University of Toledo to study pharmacy because of the program’s amazing reputation. Since high school, I knew I wanted to go into the medical field and have a positive, direct impact on patients. Turns out, UT not only gave me a great education, but also my first job. I’m now working at UT Medical Center as a pharmacist to monitor antibiotic use.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984, two Emmy awards and three Academy awards, Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 books, many of which have been made into audiocassettes, animated television specials and videos. His books include The Cat in the Hat, which infused 236 simple words with rhythm, rhyme and humor, and Green Eggs and Ham which used only 50 words.
