UMass people make their mark in the world.
Commonwealth Honors College students, including Elisabeth Yang ’17 (above), worked behind the scenes throughout the academic year to prepare The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum for its June 3 opening in Springfield, Massachusetts. UMass Amherst student contributions include translating Seuss’s works, planning a conference, and assisting Professor of Art John Simpson with Seussian murals.
Andy Dowd ’08 is a professional photographer as well as a student at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester. His book, Med School: Photographs and Stories from Inside (Sargent Street Press, 2017), provides a candid look at his fellow students’ med school lives. Above, on Match Day, a fourth-year student and his parents learn that he’ll be staying at UMass Medical School for his residency.
