As expected, the speech was full of wisdom and encouragement for the class of 2025. He even mentioned his right hand man Jim Henson, who graduated from University of Maryland. in 1969.

Our friend Lucas Ross was also there to lend his banjo skills for a speech ending "Rainbow Connection" sing-a-long.

Although Kermit does appear from time to time during the 3 hour commencement, his keynote speech starts at 2 hour mark below.

It's great to see how many students and guests brough along Kermit items to celebrate his return to College Park.
