1:29Now PlayingKermit the Frog told this year’s graduates at the University of Maryland that “life is better when we leap together.”
The beloved Muppet and creation of the late Maryland graduate, Jim Henson, delivered the main address at the university’s commencement Thursday evening in College Park, Maryland. Kermit told the graduates, if they were “willing to listen to a frog,” that it’s important to stay connected to their families, friends and, perhaps most importantly, their dreams.
“The truth is,” the Muppet said, “dreams are how we figure out where we want to go, and life is how we get there.”
