A University of Notre Dame academic course on the U.S. Constitution will be open to the public Sept. 19 (Tuesday) at9:30 a.m.in Room 131 DeBartolo Hall in observance of Constitution Day.

Because the official date of Constitution Day is Sept. 17, which falls on a Sunday this year, Notre Dame joins other institutions nationwide in celebrating the event later in the week.
