Nolan Fowler and Elaine Fowler Palencia Annual Constitution Day

Nolan Fowler and Elaine Fowler Palencia Annual Constitution Day

Constitution Day is a celebration of the formation and signing of the U.S. Constitution by thirty-nine of the 55 Delegates to the Constitutional Convention on September 17, 1787. The date is also designated Citizenship Day to focus on the rights and responsibilities of citizens under the Constitution. Constitution Day at Tennessee Tech is named in honor of Nolan Fowler and strives to educate the campus community about the Constitution and citizenship both historically and as they apply to today’s challenges. Nolan Fowler, a retired history professor at Tennessee Tech, taught constitutional development at the university from 1962 to 1979. This annual event is made possible by his $150,000 commitment to establish the Constitution Day Celebration at Tennessee Tech University.
