Andrea Lea, auditor for the State of Arkansas and member of the Arkansas Tech University Hall of Distinction, and Dr. Jeff Pearson, associate professor of history at ATU, were among the readers of the U.S. Constitution during a Constitution Day observance hosted by the ATU Department of History and Political Science on Saturday, Sept. 17.
In addition to the reading, 60 ATU students volunteered to teach constitution lessons to students at Russellville Junior High School and Dwight Elementary School on Friday, Sept. 16. In all, approximately 500 students from the Russellville School District were exposed to U.S. Constitution content as a result of the project.
