Harvard makes Amy Poehler its senior class day speaker

Actress Amy Poehler is moving up in the world. Harvard has announced that Amy has been selected as this year’s “Senior Class Day” speaker. The school announced Tuesday that the Massachusetts native will address graduates and their families in Harvard Yard’s Tercentenary Theater on May 25.

The annual ceremony is scheduled the day before commencement and is a chance for Harvard’s senior class to socialize one last time before graduating.

Amy recently revealed she wants Bill Murray to star on her TV show Parks and Recreation.

The program — which airs on NBC — centers around the Parks and Recreation department in the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana.

And Amy says she’s love to work with the Hollywood star.

“I want Bill Murray to play the mayor,” Amy told the New York Post.

“That’s my dream. And you know what, if he’s reading this, we’ll only make him work like two hours. And he can sit in a chair the whole time. That’s my number one dream.”
