Events will be held across Penn State’s campuses. Take a look at the events Penn State will offer at University Park.

Folks can enjoy the festivities whether they are already registered to vote or register at the event. The event will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Thursday, September 17: Constitution Day

On Thursday, September 17, Penn State will celebrate Constitution Day, honoring 239 years since the U.S. Constitution was originally signed in 1787, with the Civic Engagement Alliance Engage and Empower Expo.

The expo will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the HUB and will feature games, cookies, and fireside chats with student leaders and civic experts.

Organization members will also have free pocket constitutions to hand out, and there will be opportunities to register to vote.

Both events give Penn State students a chance to learn more about their rights and responsibilities as U.S. citizens, promoting the values of citizenship and democracy that are integral to our nation.
