Today, the University announced the launch of the Constitution Day 2009 web site. The text of the message that was sent to all students is included below:

Dear student,

We look forward to your participation in the University of Washington community during  autumn 2009.  UW offers a wide variety of learning opportunities.  We hope you will pursue many of them.

As a recipient of Federal financial support, the University is required by Public Law 108-447 to make available an educational program on the U.S. Constitution as part of Constitution Day on September 17.  Since the University is not in session on the 17th, we are making available to you a website on the Constitution from September 11 to November 5, 2009.  The site is available now at http://depts.washington.edu/constday/

The site provides an overview of the history of the Constitution and a brief discussion of current constitutional debates, as well as links to other pages that provide additional information and resources.  There is also a bibliography of popular references and a list of courses at the University of Washington that address the Constitution.  In addition, the UW site contains links to a number of webcasts on the Constitution.We encourage you to kick-off your autumn quarter studies early and visit the University’s Constitution Day website at http://depts.washington.edu/constday/

Thank you,

UW Constitution Day
