First lady pays off on challenge to serve with GWU commencement speech.

Obama's 30-minute address was the payoff in a bet with students: In September, she challenged them to do 100,000 hours of service in exchange for a keynote graduation speech. Students and other GWU community members met that goal a month before the May 1 deadline, and by the time the first lady took the stage, the count was up to 163,980 hours of service.
