Kermit, the Frog, and the Muppet: A Little Advice for Those Who’ve Done It Before They’ve Solve It
It’s hard being green, or graduating from college and entering the real world in a time of economic uncertainty and political turmoil, as evidenced by the fact that Kermit the Frog knows.
In a video announcing the speaker pick, Kermit is described as an environmental advocate, a best-selling author, an international superstar and a champion of creativity, kindness and believing in the impossible.
The graduation speaker this year will be the man who became the focal point of the Muppets franchise, and inventor of the Kermit the Frog. He’s also no stranger to the school.
Members of the University of Maryland’s class of 2025 received their diplomas Thursday evening with sage advice from the amphibious Muppet ringing in their ears.
“As you prepare for this big leap into real life, here’s a little advice, if you’re willing to listen to a Frog,” the beloved Muppet said. “Get what you want, not jump over someone to get it, because life is better when we leap together.”
