Alumna Jane Lynch ’82 received an honorary doctoral degree at Illinois State University’s Founders Day Convocation on February 16.

The Emmy and Golden Globe winner was spotted all over campus on Founders Day as she posed for selfies, spoke at Convocation, and took questions from College of Fine Arts students. Lynch also participated in the Bell Ringing Ceremony and spoke with students and faculty at the LGBT/Queer Studies and Services Institute.

Other Founders Day activities included the Alumni Awards Dinner and a morning reception for Loyalty Circle donors.
