Constitution Day

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Dear NCU Students,
These historic words make up the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution, one of the most significant documents in our nation's history. It is with these words that the foundation of the United States of America was established, including the responsibilities of our Government and the freedoms that make the United States the greatest nation in the world.
This document was officially adopted on September 17, 1787, and for this reason, September 17 is now known as Constitution Day. Like many holidays that don't include a day off from work, Constitution Day tends to fall under the radar. However, this day celebrates everything we as Americans hold dear, our freedoms. In fact, many still refer to America as the Land of Opportunity; it is a place where we are free to dream, and to dream big.
We see Constitution Day as an opportunity to remind ourselves of what makes our nation great. To remind ourselves that our students are dreaming big and that we have a great opportunity to help them achieve their dreams.

George Burnett
President NCU
