Constitution Day, Citizenship Day, Sept. 17: Resources, Information

September 11, 2020

On September 17, 1776, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention met for the last time to sign the document they had created, the US Constitution. In 2004, the US Congress mandated that any educational institution that receives Federal funding is required to hold educational programming about the US Constitution.

This commemoration had its origin in 1940, when Congress passed a joint resolution authorizing and requesting the President to issue annually a proclamation setting aside the third Sunday in May for the public recognition of all who had attained the status of American citizenship. The designation for this day was “I Am An American Day.”

In 1952 Congress repealed this joint resolution and passed a new law moving the date to September 17 to commemorate “the formation and signing, on September 17, 1787, of the Constitution of the United States.” The day was still designated as “Citizenship Day” and retained its original purpose of recognizing all those who had attained American citizenship.

This law urged civil and educational authorities of states, counties, cities and towns to make plans for the proper observance of the day and “for the complete instruction of citizens in their responsibilities and opportunities as citizens of the United States and of the State and locality in which they reside.”

Information and resources for all UP community members can be found at this link, according to Anne Santiago, political science.

Lara-Zuzan Golesorkhi To Be Honored by UN, Sept. 22: Come Watch!

September 14, 2018

Lara-Zuzan Golesorkhi, political science, will join a group of more than 40 United Nations Global Fellows from 33 countries who are being featured at a Global Summit at the UN and recognized for their work in their communities on Saturday, September 22. Golesorkhi will be attending the event at the UN that day, but her colleague Anne Santiago, political science, will oversee a livestream for students, faculty, and staff to watch that day from 9 t0 11 a.m. in Franz Hall room 120. All are welcome to attend and learn more about Golesorkhi’s work helping Muslim women refugees in Europe.

In 2016 Golesorkhi founded a non-profit in her native Germany to help refugee Muslim women enter the workforce and to fight discrimination by potential employers. The questions about whether women can wear hijabs or other types of veils has been a contentious one in Germany. Golesorkhi’s NGO, which is all-volunteer operated, educates women refugees in basic job search skills, from creating a resume to job interview skills. They also do workshops on diversity for employers and awareness campaigns for the general public.

For more information contact Santiago at santiago@up.edu.
