She’s an accomplished actress, writer, producer, and director. Now add Dartmouth graduation speaker to Mindy Kaling’s list of credits. The former playwriting major has come a long way since sitting in the DAM offices as an undergrad, shyly saying she’d like to write for David Letterman someday. That dream went unfulfilled, but many others took its place. Kaling went on to star in, among other productions, The Office, The Mindy Project, A Wrinkle in Time, and the new Ocean’s 8.

Kaling, who heard former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright at her graduation 17 years ago, is the seventh alum to deliver the main address since 1997.
