As one of only six schools honored with a Sumner Scholarship endowment, The Sumner Foundation has a long-standing history of supporting Austin College projects that target democratic, government, and civic activities. This year, the Sumner’s Foundation will once again sponsor the Political Science Colloquium on Public Discourse and the Dr. Kenneth Street Law Symposium. A new program, “Constitution Day,” scheduled for September 2022 will include a speaker from the Pre-Law Society Speaker Series focusing on the place of lawyers in democratic statesmanship.
