Rowan University Recognizes Constitution Week

It is a truly historic document! Through the efforts of a few extraordinarily courageous men the United States Constitution has become the cornerstone for what is now the oldest continuous democracy in the world. The greatness of this document and the system for which it has laid the foundation has been demonstrated throughout our history: resilient in times of political and economic upheaval; consistent in the manifestation of the founders’ desire that these United States be a nation of laws by and for the people of this country. Constitution Day recognizes the achievement of our constitution, one of the world’s greatest documents. This year Constitution Day falls on September 17.

At Rowan University, Campbell Library will be the home of a week of activities exploring and celebrating the constitution and citizenship in the United States. We challenge you to take the U.S. Citizenship History and Civics Review test! It is found on the library’s Learning Express database. Those scoring 85% or better will qualify for prize drawings offered throughout the week. Once completed, print your score page, add contact information, and drop the page in the basket in the lobby of Campbell Library. As well, the library will screen DVDs about the constitution on a scheduled basis in the library and a special movie will be presented on Thursday evening—popcorn included.

Visit Campbell Library through the week of the Sept. 17^th to learn about and celebrate the constitution. Free copies of the constitution will be available for all who would like one.
