The stars are taking a poke at thriving industries outside of entertainment.

Beautiful and talented "Fastastic Four" star Kerry Washington will be joining the board of trustees at George Washington University.

The news comes from Student Association President Julie Bindelglass and incoming SA President Jason Lifton.

In case you don't keep up with your favorite stars, Kerry graduated from the same university in 1998 and received an Alumni acheivement award in 2008.

She has also been a political activist for quite some time as well.

Nice to know that some of the celebrities are involved in everyday politics instead of strictly the glamorous life.
