Constitution Day events are intended to draw attention to the
anniversary of the signing of the Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787, and to
educate Americans about democracy. Federal law requires all federally
funded educational institutions – elementary school through university
level – to hold an educational program on or around Sept. 17 to mark the
signing of the document.
The Fresno State events are sponsored by Associated Students Inc. and
the Political Science Association.
