Throughout the month of September, the USC Upstate Display Committee will have a display that will focus on different campus majors. As students are back on campus, they are currently either choosing majors, changing majors, or learning more of their majors. Our library has a very impressive number of materials about the different majors available at USC Upstate. This committee wanted to highlight these valuable resources for any student with this display. We could not highlight every campus major on one single display but tried to represent all the majors we could on it. All the material currently on the display is available for checkout. We are hoping that all students will see these materials and decorations and feel intrigued to learn more about these different subjects. This display will be here throughout September and then we will be preparing for our Halloween display. We are looking forward to everyone seeing this one soon.
In the United States, Constitution Day (also known as Constitution and Citizenship Day) is observed annually on September 17. This marks the date that delegates to the Constitutional Convention held in Philadelphia in 1787 submitted their final version of the U.S. Constitution for signature.
To commemorate the momentous occasion, the Library is highlighting the resources available on the U.S. Constitution as well as other founding documents in American history and government. These include the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers, the Emancipation Proclamation and other key works in the African American freedom struggle, and important documents on Indigenous Peoples' rights and justice.
Please check out our library guide to the Constitution and other founding documents. Here you'll also find information about South Carolina's REACH Act, legislation enacted in 2021 to ensure undergraduate education on America's constitutional heritage.
