The public is welcome to join the activities in the Landing of the Columbus Learning Center, 4555 Central Ave. This year, participants can check their voter registration and ballot, find their voting location, make buttons, enjoy snacks, and have their questions answered. In addition, the Bartholomew County Clerk Voter Registration Office will bring a voting booth to campus to show those who have never voted what they can expect on election day.
“The goal of our event is to celebrate the right to vote, encourage engaged citizenship, and have AirPark campus faculty, staff and students—as well as members of the local community—commit to vote,” explained Pamela Morris, event coordinator and IU Columbus associate professor of communication studies.
Constitution Day is an American federal observance recognizing the adoption of the United States Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens. It’s been celebrated annually at the Columbus campus for nearly 20 years.
This year, Sept. 17 is also National Voter Registration Day.
