During graduation weekend for Northwestern’s Class of 2025, President Michael Schill sat down with Commencement speaker Steve Carell ’25 H, parent of both a recent alum and a current student. Schill’s test sparked a novel rendition of the Northwestern fight song and a discussion of the challenges of improvising Chekhov and featured a spoiler-heavy recap of Carell’s recent TV roles.
