On September 17th, 1787, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention gathered in Philadelphia, PA to sign the Constitution of the United States. To commemorate the ratification of the U.S. Constitution and celebrate all who have become citizens of the United States, all educational institutions that receive federal funds provide programming and information on September 17th of each year. USF Campus activities this year in celebration of Constitution Day and Citizenship Day include the following:
