SDSU will take part in Constitution Day, which marks the signing of the constitution on Sept. 17, 1787. “Congress has approved a law that requires all public and private higher educational institutions that receive federal funding, including student grants and loans, to participate in this annual observance,” said Bob Burns, professor and head of the Political Science Department.
