Yesterday, we had the privilege of taking part in CPCC’s Constitution Day 2026! 📜

Dr. Hugh Dussek reminded us of both the beauty and blemishes of the U.S. Constitution, before we enjoyed related works by Emmy-winning poet Boris “Bluz” Rogers.

We are so grateful for the Cato Student Life team, their warm welcome, and the lovely event! ❤️
