Constitution Day programming at the University Libraries gave students the chance to get creative with hands-on activities while becoming more civically active. In collaboration with the Office of Community Engagement and Leadership Development, the Libraries held a drop-in afternoon session on Thursday, Sept. 17 with puzzles and crafts. University representatives helped students register to vote and get more involved with their communities.

Since 2005, the CMU Libraries have held programming to commemorate the signing of the U.S. Constitution that helps students connect with the Constitution, each other, and civic engagement.
