Constitution Week
Constitution Week is an annual KSU observance to commemorate the adoption of the United States Constitution. Each educational institution in the United States that receives federal funding must observe Constitution Day, September 17. For many years, however, KSU has scheduled a full week of events to commemorate the Constitution’s historical relevance, its integral role in our democracy today, and its future impact. : This year’s Constitution Week was celebrated Sept. 17-20 with a variety of speakers and voter registration activities.
Congress, by joint resolution, designated September 17 as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. It was officially enacted by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on August 2, 1956. Constitution Week at KSU has since flourished as a means to promote study and education about the Constitution, originally adopted on September 17, 1787. Additionally, Constitution Week is utilized on our campus to promote civic values, civic life, and the development of an engaged citizenry.
