US v. James Podbielski<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Because our democracy depends upon civic literacy, the Drinko Academy has partnered with the Simon Perry Center for Constitutional Democracy to launch a new Take the Pledge Campaign.\u00a0 We are distributing U.S. Constitutions and pledge cards to our campus community.<\/p>\n The pledge cards ask signatories to commit to: reading the Constitution of the United States of America; being conversant with its contents; discussing it with classmates, friends, and family; and exercising the rights and\u00a0 responsibilities incumbent of citizenship. To date 510 students, faculty, and staff have signed the pledge. Please join us in doing so.<\/p>\n To request a U.S. Constitution, contact us at\u00a0drinkoacademy@marshall.edu<\/span><\/strong><\/a> In fulfilling its mission, the Drinko Academy has provided significant programmatic support both on campus and beyond.<\/p>\n The Academy has played a vital role in numerous Marshall University fundraising campaigns, including those for the Drinko Library<\/a>\u00a0and the John Marshall Statue<\/a>.<\/p>\n In 2001, it directed the widely hailed John Marshall Bicentennial Celebration<\/a>, which commemorated the 200th year anniversary of John Marshall\u2019s appointment as Chief Justice of the United States.<\/p>\n In collaboration with its Distinguished Drinko Fellows, the Academy has also established a record of conceptualizing, fundraising, and incubating vital Marshall University programs that are now fully independent initiatives.\u00a0 Among these are:\u00a0 \u00a0The Simon Perry Center for Constitutional Democracy<\/a>, the\u00a0John Marshall Fife and Drum Corps<\/a>, and\u00a0The Dr. Carter G. Woodson Lyceum<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Face of Justice: Portraits of John Marshall\u00a0<\/em>exhibition catalog was published by the Drinko Academy and the Huntington Museum of Art as part of the John Marshall Bicentennial Celebration, February 2-4, 2001.<\/p>\n The John Marshall Fife and Drum Corps, founded in 2007, is a project proposed and directed by Distinguished Drinko Fellow Dr. Wendell Dobbs.<\/p>\n Patricia Proctor, J.D., is the Founding Director of the Simon Perry Center for Constitutional Democracy, a program established in 2011 in honor of its first Distinguished Drinko Fellow.<\/p>\n The Simon Perry Center for Constitutional Democracy sponsors events that promote civic engagement, such as the Amicus Curiae Lecture Series. It also contains a minor in Constitutional Democracy for Marshall students, and serves as a Pre-Law resource for students interested in attending Law School.<\/p>\n The Dr. Carter G. Woodson Lyceum is the brainchild of Distinguished Drinko Fellow Professor Burnis Morris and Drinko Academy Founding Executive Director Dr. Alan B. Gould.<\/p>\n It was established by the Drinko Academy and the School of Journalism and Mass Communications in 2016.<\/p>\n Dr. Carter G.
