16 years ago

    PRESQUE ISLE – President Don Zillman and Dr. John Zaborney will offer a joint lecture to celebrate Constitution Day on Wednesday, Sept. 17, from 1 – 2 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room at the Campus Center, University of Maine at Presque Isle.     The lecture, an annual event at the University, is open to the campus and community. Congress designated Sept. 17 as Constitution Day – a national celebration of our country’s founding document – to commemorate the Sept. 17, 1787 signing of the Constitution.
    In 2004, Congress passed a spending bill that included a provision requiring every school and college that receives federal money to teach about the Constitution on Sept. 17. For information about this event please call 768-9452.
