Gregg, will be on campus this month with a lecture titled \u201cPatriot Sage: Why We Need George Washington Today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gregg\u2019s lecture is part of the annual Dr. Richard Gruetzemacher Constitution Day Lecture Series, sponsored by UTC\u2019s Center for Reflective Citizenship and the College of Health, Education and Professional Studies. The lecture series takes place every year, on or around Sept. 17, the day the U.S. Constitution was signed in 1787.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy hope is that the audience will better understand that without George Washington\u2019s leadership, neither the United States of America nor our present Constitution might ever have been created in the first place,\u201d explains Lucien Ellington, director of UTC\u2019s Center for Reflective Citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>The lecture explores Washington&#8217;s accomplishments, how he defeated the British Empire, presided over the Constitutional Convention, led an infant nation and what we can learn from him today. There also will be plenty of time for questions from the audience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe deliberately select good scholars for our Constitution Day lectures who are also talented speakers and can reach audiences of varying ages, interests and occupations. Professor Gary Gregg certainly possesses both these attributes,\u201d adds Ellington.<\/p>\n<p>This year, UTC\u2019s annual Constitution Day Lecture Series has a new name to honor the late Richard Gruetzemacher, a UTC staff and faculty member with a lifelong love of history and civic education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The lecture explores Washington&#8217;s accomplishments, how he defeated the British Empire, presided over the Constitutional Convention, led an infant nation and what we can learn from him today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2018\/09\/eighth-annual-dr-richard-gruetzemacher-constitution-day-lecture-focuses-on-george-washington\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":858,"featured_media":23165,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70,15,56,3,10170],"tags":[70168,83217,83216,12847,70169],"class_list":{"0":"post-23164","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-academics","8":"category-campus","9":"category-college-of-health-education-and-professional-studies","10":"category-community","11":"category-lectures-and-speakers","12":"tag-annual-constitution-day-lecture","13":"tag-gary-l-gregg","14":"tag-george-washington","15":"tag-speakers","16":"tag-utc-center-for-reflective-citizenship","17":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
