The Hatchet’s editorial board congratulates GW for such a high profile commencement speaker but holds some reservations as to how her challenge will be met.

The first lady is a great choice for commencement speaker. She brings an outside perspective, is dynamic and obviously has the life experience needed for such an event. She said she is confident that we will meet the goal, and we share her optimism – but we worry that the terms of this challenge guarantee it will be anything but challenging.
