Ivy League Stars

Ivy League Stars March 3, 2013 Mindy Kaling walked the ground of this college campus as a student. So who are the Ivy League stars? Have you seen Kate McKinnon on SNL? She graduated in 2006 from Columbia University. You know who also went to Columbia? Jenny Slate. You might know her from a year of doing SNL and for a role on HBOs Bored To Death. What about Jane Lynch? Do you know her? Maybe you know her from Glee. After all, she is Sue Sylvester, an iconic television character of our time. Jane Lynch is a graduate of Cornell University. Jennifer Westfeldt from Friends With Kids? Yale University. And how about The Offices Ellie Kemper? Ellie is a graduate of Princeton University. What about Rashida Jones, also of The Office (in addition to a great role in The Social Network)? She is a graduate of Harvard University, where she graduated in 1997 as a religion and philosophy major. Vanessa Bayer graduated in 2004 from the University of Pennsylvania, where she was a communications major. Vanessa has appeared on Sesame Street and Late Night with Conan OBrien. Connie Britton of Friday Night Lights and Nashville fame? Connie is a Dartmouth College alumna. As is Mindy Kaling, even though her character went to Princeton in her FOX series, The Mindy Project. And, no, Ellen Pompeo did not attend Dartmouth, even though her character on Greys Anatomy did. Thats only because Shonda Rhimes attended the College on the Hill. Anyhow, hat tip to Guest of a Guest for the alma maters of some of these leading ladies.
