Kermit the Frog to deliver commencement address at the University of Maryland graduation

Kermit the Frog knows it's not easy being green — or graduating from college and entering the real world, especially during a time of economic uncertainty and political turmoil.

Members of the University of Maryland's class of 2025 will receive their diplomas Thursday evening with sage advice from the amphibious Muppet ringing in their ears.

The university announced in March that Kermit, who was created in 1955 and became the centerpiece of the Muppets franchise, would be this year's commencement speaker. He's also no stranger to the school.

Muppets creator Jim Henson graduated from Maryland in 1960. A home economics major, he fashioned the original frog puppet from one of his mother's coats and a ping-pong ball cut in half, according to a statement from the university. Henson died in 1990.

A bronze statue of Henson and Kermit sitting on a bench is a well-known feature of the College Park campus.

Buzz is killing it. Took a program with zero players and has built a respectable team. A lot to be seen, but I think this team can be competitive this year.
