This year marks the 224th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution. It stands as the oldest written constitution
of any nation in the world. Thus, it is of great importance to this campus that we celebrate the document and its ideals in a manner
that reflects its significance as the basis upon which the nation was founded.
On September 19, 2011, we will hold our eighth annual Constitution Day Program with a debate on whether the Defense of Marriage Act is Constitutionally defensible.
The program is free and all are welcome.
