San Diego City College will be hosting its annual Constitution Race this week as a part of Constitution Week, according to a flyer released by Student Affairs.
A collaboration between Student Affairs and the history department, Constitution Week at City College is focused on celebrating and remembering the Constitution of the United States of America.
The race is a scavenger hunt where students look for the first 10 amendments of the U.S. Constitution (the Bill of Rights) hidden across the campus, according to Susan Hasegawa, a history professor at City College spearheading the event.
“I think it’s really important to reexamine … the governing document that everyone goes back to when we talk about how we’re going to live,” Hasegawa said.
Students can compete in groups of 2-3 to see who can complete the hunt the fastest. Winners will receive up to $50 in gift cards.
Aside from good shoes, Hasegawa had a single tip: read the directions carefully.
“You’ll be given a sheet front and back,” Hasegawa said. “That’s all the directions and the riddles.”
To register, teachers should reach out to Hasegawa directly, and students can show up to M-200 on Sept. 18 from 11:15 a.m. to 2 p.m.
