Congress officially established the observance. SUNY Plattsburgh, as a
public educational institution receiving federal funding, is mandated to
offer educational programming about the U.S. Constitution on or around
September 17 on an annual basis. This year’s event on September 20
coincides with National Voter Registration Day.

Foundation.
