On November 11th, 2009, First Lady Michelle Obama made a challenge to the student body of George Washington University and that was to complete 100,000 hours of volunteering by the end of the academic year. If this was completed she would speak at their commencement in the spring. The student body met that challenge and complete over 106,000 hours. With that being done Ms. Obama kept her end of the bargain, speaking at the commencement and receiving a Honorary Doctorate in public service on May 16th, 2010.
