16:03Now PlayingThe University of Maryland (UMD) is hosting a unique commencement speaker for its 2025 graduating class after inviting Kermit the Frog to take part in the ceremony. The bright-green Muppet was created by Jim Henson, a UMD alumnus who graduated in 1960. Henson, who passed away in 1990 at the age of 53, originally fashioned Kermit from his mother's coat and split ping pong balls. The iconic frog previously visited the campus in fall 2024, headlining the College of Arts and Humanities Dean’s Lecture Series, according to a statement from the university. LiveNOW’s Austin Westfall is providing updates from the ceremony.
Kermit, who is traveling a long way from Sesame Street for the occasion, said nothing could "make these feet happier" than speaking at the university. In 2003, a statue depicting Jim Henson and Kermit seated on a red granite bench was installed near the Stamp Student Union at UMD.
