This year, colleges and universities across the state celebrated Constitution Day in a variety of creative ways. Here are some you’ve told us about:

• Students from Anoka Ramsey Community College performed “Living Constitution” in which they embodied the Bill of Rights. They also hosted trivia and helped students register to vote.
• The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University held “Really?! Can He Do That?” as part of the Politics & a Pint Conversation Series.
• Minnesota State University Mankato hosted an all-day “Constitution Cinema Marathon.”
• The University of Minnesota Morris presented “Interpreting the U.S. Constitution: Dynamic Canvas or Etched in Stone.” This program included video of students answering questions about the Constitution as well as professors discussing separation of powers, checks and balances, immigration, judicial review of emolument clause, and gerrymandering.
• The University of Minnesota, Twin Cities hosted a discussion with Facebook leaders and Secretary of State Steve Simon. They looked at the relationships between elections and social media arguing that media platforms like Facebook create new opportunities for voter registration, turnout, and public engagement.
• At the University of Saint Thomas Law School, David Lillehaug of the Minnesota Supreme Court spoke.
