CONSTITUTION DAY EVENTS @ LSUHSC

On September 17, 1787, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention met for the last time to sign the document they had created. 220 years later, we call this day CONSTITUTION DAY.

Not familiar with the holiday? That’s because before 2005, September 17th was known as “Citizenship Day”, a relatively obscure American holiday. Now, thanks to a recent federal law, all high schools, colleges and universities that receive federal funds are required hold an educational event about the Constitution on September 17. So what’s ours?

In observance of Constitution Day, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center at New Orleans will present a panel discussion entitled ?óÔé¼?ôThe Constitutional Rights of Health Care Providers in a Regulatory Context?óÔé¼?Ø. The panel discussion will take place on Monday, September 17, 2007 from noon to 1:00 p.m. in Lecture Room A of the Medical Education Building located at 1901 Perdido Street in New Orleans. All faculty, staff, and students are invited to attend this event.
