Ever since Dr. Frazer arrived at Judson, he has pursued and advocated for a day in which we collectively step back and take a long look at our Constitution. On September 19th, for the ninth consecutive time, we as Faculty, members of College Administration, and the Judson sisterhood did just that.
Simply put, Constitution Day is meant to promote and encourage the faculty, staff, and students of Judson College to grow in their knowledge and understanding of the Constitution. At the Ramsay McCrummen Chapel, as many as one hundred and eighteen people were able to attend this annual event. (For those of you who were wondering, this is the second highest attendance at Constitution Day since Dr. Frazer’s arrival!)
Whether the audience was enticed by the possible extra-credit offered by departments, longed to show their support or just wanted to learn. Everyone attending was able to glean something from this hour long celebration. During the presentation, Ms. Bussey, Head of the Criminal Justice Department shared with us as Dr. Frazer so eloquently put it a “provocative and informative presentation on the Voisine Case.” Both student body and faculty heads were encouraged to ask questions and offer different views on the material discussed.
After everyone had cleared out (in order to catch the dinner wave) a few select, including Ms. Dennison, Dr. Arnold, Dr. Stata and the hosts stayed so that they might discuss different policies, common knowledge, and the various perspective among them. Dr. Arnold was able to say this, “As always, I enjoyed the information provided.” He went on to state how he was troubled regarding the information presented. He concurred that an interesting discussion followed the presentation and both Frazer and Bussey “did a wonderful job with the program.”
The very next day, an email was sent. Dr. Frazer gave us a lovely rundown of the events that had taken place, the numbers of people, a heartfelt thanks to those behind the scenes that made it possible, as well as an invitation to the next Constitution Day.
