The Office character Andy Bernard is a graduate of Cornell University. Andy frequently mentions Cornell throughout the series and treats his Ivy League education as a major part of his identity.
Andy studied at Cornell and was a member of Here Comes Treble, the university’s a cappella group. His enthusiasm for the school becomes a recurring joke: he references Cornell trivia, sings its fight song, and often brings up his college experiences even when nobody has asked. His boastful loyalty contrasts with the awkwardness and insecurity that frequently undermine his professional life.
Cornell is one of the eight Ivy League universities and is located in Ithaca, New York. The character is played by Ed Helms, who later returned to Cornell to speak at a 2014 senior convocation. Viewers sometimes confuse Andy’s education with the universities attended by members of the cast, but the fictional character’s school is clearly established as Cornell.
