Andrew Thompson, a senior at the University of Maryland, expressed mixed feelings about Kermit the Frog being the commencement speaker for their graduation ceremony. While some students embraced the whimsical choice, dubbing it 'Ker-mencement,' Thompson and his roommates felt deflated, questioning the merit of receiving life advice from a puppet rather than a traditional figure like a politician or tech executive. His reaction highlights a divide among students regarding this unconventional decision for a significant life event.
Mr. Thompson said that he and his roommates felt deflated... he couldn't see why he was supposed to listen to life advice from a fictional character. It's a little silly, having a puppet as a commencement speaker.
That was great news for some students, who have already started calling the May graduation ceremony their Ker-mencement.
