It's graduation season, a time when students celebrate the end of a chapter after years of hard work.

Walking across the stage during commencement and getting your degree is an unforgettable moment. Well, for some students at one college in Philadelphia, their graduation is one that will always be remembered - for an odd reason. Thomas Jefferson University is getting a lot of attention after Thursday's nursing student graduation ceremony.

A video of a presenter mispronouncing the names of several students has now gone viral on TikTok and other social media platforms.In the video, you can hear the presenter struggling to say many of the graduate's names. For example, instead of"Molly Elizabeth Camp" the speaker said"Mollina -zabeth- cap" or instead of"Thomas" they said"Tha-mo-may.

We also recognize that commencement is not only a milestone for our students but also a deeply important day for their families and loved ones who have supported them throughout their educational journey, and we are deeply sorry for any disappointment this may have caused. The mispronunciations occurred due to the way phonetic spellings were presented on the speaker’s cards, which was noted when the presenter apologized during the ceremony.
