OCTC to host Constitution Day presentation on September 17

HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – On September 17, Owensboro Community and Technical College (OCTC) will be recognizing Constitution Day with a presentation titled “The Rights You Give Away.”

Officials say the presentation will be given by Dr. Bob Glenn, at 11 a.m. in OCTC Blandford Lecture Hall, located in the Humanities Building on the main campus at 4800 New Hartford Road in Owensboro. The presentation is free and open to the public, and copies of “The U.S. Constitution and Fascinating Facts About It” are available on behalf of the Learning Resource Center on a first-come, first-serve basis. There will also be free pizza, as long as supplies last.

OCTC explains Dr. Glenn is a long-time resident of Owensboro and Daviess County. He was an award-winning educator at Owensboro Community College from 1990 to 2023, when he retired, and is an adjunct at KWC, a Lay Speaker for the United Methodist Church, a certified High School sports official, and a “tireless advocate” for Owensboro. Dr. Glenn serves on several boards, including as a member of St. Benedict’s Homeless Shelter, Daviess County Imagination Library, Owensboro Lions Executive Board and past Chair of the Neblett Center Board. He has also served from 2012-2018 as an Owensboro City Commissioner. In 2016, he was elected Mayor Pro Tem and he was reelected in 2020 to the Commission.

Officials explain Constitution Day is a time when people recognize the anniversary of the nation’s constitution and the efforts and responsibilities of all citizens in sustaining the constitution.

OCTC President Dr. Scott Williams commented, “We hope that the topic of this Constitution Day encourages discussion and deliberation among the students, faculty, and staff and that community members feel free to join us.”
