SEPTEMBER 17: CONSTITUTION DAY

September 17 is recognized in the United States as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. The purpose of Constitution Day and Citizenship Day is to commemorate the creation and signing of the supreme law of the land and to honor and celebrate the privileges and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship for both native-born and naturalized citizens. Federal law requires that all schools receiving federal funds provide  educational opportunities for their students on September 17 of each year. At Goodwin College, we call it Constitution Week since we extend our commemoration to more than one day.

On September 17, 1787, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention met for the last time to sign the document they had created. All Americans are encouraged to observe this important day in our nation's history.. Celebrate Constitution Day this year by learning something about the Constitution that you didn't know before. There will be many opportunities throughout the week.
