2. Amy Poehler, an actress, comedian, writer, producer, and director best known for her role in NBC's "Parks and Recreation," is another esteemed alumna. She studied media and communications at Boston College.

3. In the sports world, Matt Ryan, a starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, was a standout on Boston College's football team. He was the third overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.

4. In the realm of business, Peter Lynch, a legendary stock investor who managed the Magellan Fund at Fidelity, also graduated from Boston College. In fact, Boston College's Carroll School of Management named a hall in his honor.
