Jane Lynch Receives Honorary Doctoral Degree from ISU

And I was there to see this ceremony which is the closest thing ISU has to the Oscars, said President Larry Dietz.   As a part of Founder's Day, many people receive awards, including the Distinguished Professor Award which Daad received in 1997 with only 2 awarded each year.  

Jane still dreams about ISU, especially the quad in autumn.  On the ACT she received a score of 13!  She was closed out of a class so decided to take a theater class just for the hec of it, after which she breathed, ate, and lived theater. She never attended her Spanish II classes but did show up for the final.  Her professor knew of her talent and so gave her a very easy exam.
The essence of her beliefs --

     Goal setting may be restrictive
     Never use the word "should"
     Intelligence means creativity
     Don't be a humorless do-gooder

    I remember first seeing Jane in A MIGHTY WIND! That YOU loaned me! And then, in a few roles but Tim and I BOTH loved her so much in Glee. Since then, we've seen her in a few TV shows, but it's all a blur.

      The huge Brown Ballroom was packed when I arrived but because I was dressed up and being a "senior", I was ushered into a fabulous seat right behind all the distinguished professors so I could see Jane on stage as well as on the two huge screens with projections of everything taking place at the lectern.
