    Celebrate Constitution Day

    September 17 marks Constitution Day, commemorating the 1787 date on which thirty-nine of the Philadelphia Convention’s delegates signed the new Constitution.

    The Office of Academic Affairs will be handing out free, pocket-size constitutions (while supplies last) at the entrance to 185 West Broadway this Friday, September 16.  (If supplies stop lasting, don’t despair; you can always get a copy at the Mendik Library Reference Desk.)

    ConstitutionFacts.com has put together a variety of fun ways to test/expand your Constitutional knowledge.
