Syracuse University recognizes Constitution Day

Tuesday, September 13, 2011, By News Staff

To recognize national Constitution Day (Sept. 17, 2011, celebrated on Sept. 20 because it falls on a weekend this year) Syracuse University will provide free, pocket U.S. Constitutions and voter registration forms at E.S. Bird Library (ground floor), and the second floor of the College of Law, outside the cafeteria. 

National Constitution Day commemorates the formation and signing of the U.S. Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787. 

Additionally, in conjunction with SU’s Office of Government and Community Relations, WAER (88.3-FM) will air several “Did You Know” segments about the U.S. Constitution and its signing, Sept. 12-16, and Sept. 19 and 20, at 1:15 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. 

Also in honor of Constitution Day, the Institute for the Study of the Judiciary, Politics, and the Media (IJPM) has organized lecture events.
