SVSU to host 'Writing the Constitution' event

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union … ."

Many Americans recognize the opening words to the Constitution of the United States, but fewer may know much about the document that expresses the fundamental framework of our system of government.

Saginaw Valley State University invites community members to learn more about the Constitution during a "Writing the Constitution" event on Friday, April 10, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Writing Center, Zahnow Library 250. The event is open to the campus community and the public.

Participants will have the opportunity to copy the United States Constitution by hand while reflecting on the document's significance as part of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. The event is part of a statewide series organized by Michigan Writers.

The event is sponsored by SVSU's Writing Center and English Department, along with the College Republicans, College Democrats, the national political science honor society Pi Sigma Alpha and Cardinals Vote.

Students, faculty, staff and community members are invited to attend. Light snacks will be provided.
