“We are looking forward to welcoming Jeffrey Rosen to South ��ֱ���� State University for what promises to be an engaging and thought-provoking evening,” said Dennis Hedge, SDSU provost and vice president for academic affairs. “Civic knowledge and effective engagement are key to healthy communities, and this event is an opportunity for our students and all others in attendance to learn from one of our nation’s leading experts in this area.” 

The National Constitution Center, located in Philadelphia, serves as America’s leading platform for constitutional education and debate. Rosen hosts a weekly podcast of constitutional debate, “We the People.”
