Ashley, off to Harvard

Ashley Judd has kept a polite distance away from acting recently to make time for her political and humanitarian activism. And now, we hear that the actress, who graduated in French in 1990, has now enrolled at Harvard University to obtain a Master's Degree in Public Administration. She will be joining Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, to study the institution's Mid-Career Master in Public Administration course, which is designed for people interested in a career in public service or non-profit sectors. Ashley’s rep has confirmed the news.
