All institutions of higher education that receive federal funding are required to provide educational programming to inform students about the U.S.Constitution. When Constitution Day falls on a weekend or on another holiday, we observe the occasion on an adjacent weekday.
The Constitution is a vital part of the cultural heritage and the history of the United States of America and we are pleased to provide these events, resources and activities to our student body and the general public. Any events affiliated with Constitution Day will also be posted here and around campus each year.
