Ellie Kemper - Princeton

Ellie Kemper - Princeton
Graduation Year: 2002, English Major Claims to Campus Fame: Freshman Varsity Field Hockey Player, Triangle (annual musical-comedy), Quipfire! (improv troupe) From her Dunder Mifflin desk on The Office, Kemper's character Erin catches daily glimpses of Andy Bernard's office, which is decked-out in Cornell gear.  But Kemper has tiger pride. Kemper's mother also went to Princeton; while there, she was among the first women to write for and perform in the school's Triangle show.  Her on-stage stories inspired Kemper to drop her field hockey stick and try her hand at comedy writing.
