What is Constitution Day?

In 2005, September 17th was declared Constitution Day and all educational institutions receiving federal funding were tasked with providing constitution related programming on or around this date each year. The University of Alaska Anchorage has provided a variety of types of programming on and around September 17th each year, but also provides opportunity to engage year round.
