Kermit the Frog’s dream has always been to spread joy and happiness — and that’s exactly what he did with a recent visit to a graduation ceremony.

The beloved green amphibian delivered a commencement speech to the University of Maryland’s class of 2025 on Thursday, where he was met with resounding applause. Draped in what the Muppet himself described as “a very tiny cap and gown,” he delivered words of encouragement and inspiration, along with a forecast with a “100% chance of frog.”

“I am honored to share some words of wisdom about three things that are close to my heart: finding your people, taking the leap, and making connections,” Kermit said.

The green legend noted that Muppets creator Jim Henson, who died in 1990, attended the institution.

The school’s campus boasts a statue of the man and frog sitting on a bench, apparently deep in conversation.
