It's a Parks and Recreation kind of year for Harvard's Hasty Pudding Theatricals organization!

Last week, the theater group named Amy Poehler as their 2015 Woman of the year. And to make things even sweeter, Hasty Pudding announced today that Poehler's co-star and BFF Chris Pratt is their 2015 Man of the Year!

"The Pudding is excited to honor a performer who became a bona fide Hollywood heavyweight in the past year, going from lovable supporting roles to headlining two of the highest grossing blockbusters of the year," reads a Harvard press release sent out on Wednesday.

The super-adorable (and hunky) Guardians of the Galaxy star also took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the honor. "I still can't believe Harvard University has awarded me the Hasty Pudding Man of the Year Degree in Medicine," Pratt wrote today.

Additionally, Jason Hellerstein, the 2015 President of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals, said, "We vehemently deny that the members of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals are obsessed with Parks & Recreation. There is absolutely no basis to the rumors of ritualistic weekly viewings of the show at the Hasty Pudding Clubhouse...Joking aside, Chris Pratt's recent achievements as an actor are outstanding and we could not be more thrilled to host him and celebrate his talent as only the Pudding can."

Poehler and Pratt will both be honored during this year's Hasty Pudding awards ceremony on Feb. 6.

Congrats, you two!
