September 17 is Constitution Day, commemorating the formation and signing of the US Constitution by thirty-nine brave men on September 17, 1787. It recognizes all who, born in the US or by naturalization, have become citizens. In 2004, under Senator Robert Byrd's urging, Congress changed the designation of this day to "Constitution Day and Citizenship Day."
In celebration of Constitution Day, the Humphrey School Center for the Study of Politics and Government is hosting the 2017 Minnesota Election Summit: The Impact Of Social Media On Modern Elections on on September 14. Learn more about the event at z.umn.edu/mnelectionsummit.
