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.

The Incredible, Adaptable Greta Lee

If you know Greta Lee ’05, you know she’s a bit of a shapeshifter, with almost 20 years of experience in acting roles that span from the dead serious to the drop-dead hilarious. Last year, the highly praised and Oscar-nominated film Past Lives gave Lee her first leading role — and ushered in a new stage of her career.
