PODCAST: On this episode of the WGNS Action Line, host Scott Walker spoke with Dr. Amy Sayward, history professor and coordinator of MTSU’s American Democracy Project chapter. The focus was MTSU’s annual Constitution Day observance, which this year features David Brooks, New York Times columnist and “PBS NewsHour” contributor.

Brooks will deliver the keynote at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 17, in Tucker Theatre, engaging students in a panel discussion around the theme “We the People: The Place of the U.S. Constitution in Students’ Everyday Spaces.” The event is free and open to the public, with parking available at the Reese Smith lot.

In addition, MTSU will mark the 1787 signing of the U.S. Constitution with campus-wide live readings of the document from Sept. 15–17. These events, led by volunteers, reflect the university’s tradition of bringing students and community members together to consider the Constitution’s enduring importance.
