The above biography is from her state legislative web site, her official biography on her personal web site reads slightly differently:
Quote:
Born in McComb, Miss., Collins moved as a child to the South Side neighborhood of Auburn Gresham, which she represents today.
She is a graduate of Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard Divinity School and Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism.

The "earned degrees" is replaced with "graduated from;" a subtle difference that could mean she attended a summer school or a conference/workshop.
An Illinois resident might want to inquire what actual "earned degrees" the Senator possesses.
