Washington DC shooting: suspect in custody after two Israeli embassy staff killed near Capital Jewish Museum – latest updates

Kermit the Frog, the iconic green Muppet, is set to give the graduation speech at the University of Maryland this year. It’s a fitting choice—UMD is the alma mater of Kermit’s creator, Jim Henson, so the campus has a special connection to the fuzzy superstar.

What This Mean: Commencement speeches are usually given by politicians or CEOs, so having a beloved pop culture figure like Kermit adds a fun, nostalgic twist. It’s also a sweet nod to Jim Henson’s legacy and the university’s role in shaping his creative journey. For grads, it’s a memorable (and probably hilarious) way to cap off their college years.
