Constitution Day is an American federal observance that recognizes the adoption of the United States Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens. It is celebrated on September 17, the day the U.S. Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in 1787 in Philadelphia.
One of the key responsibilities of citizenship is voting. This year, Election Day is Tuesday, November 5 and Augsburg has made Election Day a holiday during which classes are canceled so that all eligible voters have time to vote. The office of the Minnesota Secretary of State has sample ballots and information about voting. Please visit the Sabo Center website for helpful voter information resources.
