NAU has two days of activities planned to commemorate the signing of the U.S. Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787.

Wednesday’s events will take place at Ashurst Auditorium, with lunch and a University College Showcase from 11:00 a.m. to 1 p.m. “Students’ public achievement efforts will be highlighted,” said event organizer and University College Coordinator Kelley Sliva McKee. “These first-year students engage with community partners to identify issues of concern in the community and effect change.”

A post-primary candidate forum is scheduled from 1 to 2:30 p.m. for people to learn more about candidate platforms. At the NAU Art Museum, the exhibit Painting in the World: Reflections on Politics, Violence, and Reconciliation will be available for viewing Wednesday and Thursday from noon to 5 p.m.

The NAU Constitution Day commemoration will continue Thursday, Sept. 18. The statewide Project Civil Discourse from 6 to 8:30 p.m. will be held at NAU’s Social and Behavioral Sciences West, room 107, and at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the Sedona Center for Arts and Technology.
