University of Maryland senior Andrew Thompson and his fellow classmates were surprised to learn that their commencement speaker would be none other than the beloved “Muppet Show” character Kermit the Frog. Some students have embraced the news, dubbing the upcoming graduation ceremony “Ker-mencement,” but Thompson and his roommates felt deflated by the choice.
Thompson, a 22-year-old mechanical engineering major, expressed his disbelief at being expected to take life advice from a fictional puppet. He noted that while he didn’t want to sound ungrateful, having Kermit as a commencement speaker seemed a bit silly.
Despite some mixed reactions, the university administration is excited to have Kermit address the graduating class in May. This unique choice of speaker is sure to make this year’s graduation ceremony a memorable one for all involved. Thompson and his peers may not have expected to be sent off into the workforce by a puppet, but it’s likely that Kermit’s words of wisdom will leave a lasting impact on the graduating seniors.
