Poppy is Going Back to School

CNN Anchor Poppy Harlow says that she is taking a break from the network to go back to school.

“Starting next week, I will be taking a break from being with you every morning on this show so that I can go back to school. Yes, school! I’m going to study law for a Master’s degree,” she said on the air. “It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. And if this year and a half has taught me anything, it is, why not try!”

She will be attending Yale for a couple of semesters, but will also work as a fill-in anchor on CNN.

“This is such a terrific opportunity for Poppy and I am so proud of her for committing to it,” said CNN president Jeff Zucker. “‎She will have a ton on her plate – but I know she will manage it flawlessly and come back enriched and so much better for it.”
