Jennifer Coolidge will impart her knowledge on Emerson School graduates on the faculty’s 2025 graduation ceremony this spring.
The Norwell native and Emerson alum, greatest identified for her roles in “The White Lotus,” “Legally Blonde,” “American Pie,” and quite a lot of Christopher Visitor mockumentaries, can even be given an honorary Physician of Humane Letters by the faculty.
For these of you not among the many roughly 1,000 college students (or family and friends) attending the graduation ceremony on Could 11 at Agganis Enviornment, Coolidge’s speech might be seen by way of livestream on Emerson’s web site.
Coolidge, who graduated from Emerson in 1985, has pitched in for the varsity’s graduation earlier than, albeit just about.
In 2020, Coolidge was one in all a number of alumni (together with Invoice Burr and Henry Winkler) who recorded a stirring video speech for college kids graduating amidst the pandemic.
“Life is a storm, my younger graduates,” Coolidge stated, in remarks impressed by a passage from “The Rely of Monte Cristo.” “You’ll bask within the daylight in a single second, and be shattered on the rocks within the subsequent. What defines you is what you do when that storm comes. It’s essential to look into that storm’s eye and shout, as you probably did in Rome, ‘Do your worst, as I’ll do mine!’ Then the fates will know you as we all know you, as Emerson Class of 2020!”
