Constitution Week

September 13-16, 2016

In 2004, Congress designated that each educational institution that receives federal funds must celebrate the Constitution and Citizenship on September 17.  Several years ago that federal mandate was enlarged at WKU to celebrate for a full week this document and the democracy it established.
