Constitution Day at EMU

On September 17, 1787, the Founding Fathers completed signing the United States Constitution. This document established the framework for our government and helps shape our laws and political structure to this day. We celebrate the signing of this document by taking the time to learn more about our civic responsibilities, the structure of our government, and the principle set forth in the United States Constitution. EMU encourages you to take some time to visit these valuable online resources.
