Okay...Dragons rule!
Drexel's Online Constitutional Convention - 2008
To commemorate Constitution Day on September 17th, I would like to
invite all members of the University community to participate in an
Online Constitutional Convention. University community members can
interact with one another to both celebrate and challenge the
Constitution as it currently exists by submitting amendments to its text
for what will culminate in a vote on proposed changes.
All members of the University will have access to an online course that
can be accessed through http://www.drexel.edu/provost/constitution/ .
The course materials include the text of the Constitution, readings and
commentary, and opportunities to propose and discuss ideas for change.
The site will grow and develop over the coming weeks, and we invite you
to visit often to contribute to the debates that emerge.
We hope that these online discussions will encourage community members
to think about and participate in this country's ongoing experiment in
democratic self-government. We invite students, staff, and faculty to
think creatively and critically about how envisioning the Constitution
differently might help us become a country that continues to reflect our
best hopes and aspirations.
I would like to thank Professors Rose Corrigan and David Cohen for their
work in developing Drexel's Online Constitutional Convention as well as
the members of IRT's Online Learning Team for implementing this exciting
activity.
