Thomas Jefferson University is apologizing after the names of some graduates from the nursing program were unrecognizably pronounced at their commencement, as seen in videos from the ceremony that have since gone viral. The mispronunciations at the Jefferson College of Nursing commencement ceremony, which occurred May 9, according to the university's website, were attributed to the phonetic spellings written on the speaker's cards, the school said in a statement on X Friday.
A nearly five-minute video of the speaker announcing graduates with last names that start with 'B' or 'C' had more than 370,000 views by Friday afternoon. Another video, seemingly taken from the crowd at the ceremony, has received more than 2.4 million views, 230,000 likes and 2,000 comments. 'I can honestly say ... The Grads will never forget this moment ...,' one commenter said. 'This can’t be real. If so SNL needs to re-create this,' another added.
