Kermit the Frog gives graduation speech
Bangkok Post
|May 27, 2025
At graduation ceremonies this month all across the United States, students listened to sage advice dispensed by esteemed alumni and distinguished speakers.
The Class of 2025 at the University of Maryland heard from a different kind of celebrity - Kermit the Frog.
He took the podium in a Muppet-size formal cap and gown on Thursday to deliver a commencement speech to the graduating students at the university's football stadium.
You might call the campus his birthplace. Jim Henson, the creator of The Muppet Show, was a student at the University of Maryland when he first built Kermit, using his mother's coats and a Ping-Pong ball cut in half.
Henson, Kermit said on Thursday, "had a hand in literally everything I did".
