This spring, Clinton will return to her old stomping grounds at Wellesly College to give the commencement address.
When Clinton graduated from the university in 1969, most of the Ivy League schools still only admitted men. Wellesley was part of the 'Seven Sisters' - the women's-only schools that were associated with the Ivy Leagues, and therefore one of the best in the country.
