Mount Saint Mary College celebrated Constitution Day – marking 238 years after the U.S. Constitution was signed – on Wednesday, September 17.
The event encouraged students to express what the Constitution means to them, while also learning about specifics of the critical document and its impact on the United States today. Among other educational activities, it featured faculty-led discussions about the historic document.
The Board of Elections was also on site to offer voter registration and absentee ballot pick-ups.
Students from Bishop Dunn Memorial School, located on the Mount’s campus, also joined in the celebration by sharing facts about the Constitution, the branches of government, and the Bill of Rights.
Bishop Dunn was founded in 1883 and is committed to the academic, spiritual, emotional, social, and physical development of children from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Mount Education students often do fieldwork at the school, benefiting from the guidance of seasoned Bishop Dunn faculty.
