St. John’s University commemorates the signing of the US Constitution, which occurred on September 17, 1787. This annual commemoration continues to be an important part of the history of the United States. It recognizes the creation of our union 237 years ago, and it gives us the opportunity to reflect on the ongoing efforts to make our union “more perfect.”
