Yesterday, Kermit the Frog delivered the commencement address to graduating students at the University of Maryland. Inside Higher Ed reports that Kermit passed on what he has learned over the 70 years of his life. The University of Maryland selected Kermit to honor the late alumnus Jim Henson, who graduated from that school with a degree in economics.
I notice that Kermit is wearing academic regalia that includes a doctoral hood. I'm having trouble interpreting the colors, although Insider Higher Ed notes that the frog does hold an honorary doctorate in amphibious letters awarded by Southampton College in 1996.
