Treat Yo'Self to RETTA on Campus!

It is HEATING UP in this piece. The Meagles are a cold people, but "Parks & Recreation" icon Retta is coming to Penn as SPEC Connaissance's spring speaker on March 24. She may technically have a last name, but we will not report it, as the queen deservedly appears on "Parks" without one – and was just upgraded to the opening sequence after Rashida and Rob left!

Retta, a Duke alum and onetime chemist, plays Donna Meagle, the most underrated gem of modern television comedies and this post's author's favorite human being/Twitter nemesis. (Retta is also notorious for her TV live tweets, and you know UTB will do the same with her appearance in Harrison Auditorium.) Last year, SPEC hosted SNL's Jason Sudeikis, so we approve of keeping it in the NBC fam...time after time.
