'Leap together,' Kermit the Frog tells University of Maryland graduates
Briefly

At the University of Maryland's commencement ceremony for the class of 2025, Kermit the Frog delivered a memorable speech emphasizing the importance of collaboration over competition. He encouraged graduates to help each other succeed in these challenging times. Kermit, a symbol of creativity and kindness, tied back to the university's history, given that Muppets creator Jim Henson was an alumnus. The event celebrated not just graduation but also enduring values of friendship and support in an uncertain world.
"As you prepare to take this big leap into real life, here's a little advice - if you're willing to listen to a frog, rather than jumping over someone..."
"Kermit, who was created in 1955 and became the centerpiece of the Muppets franchise, would be this year's commencement speaker."
