The Tennessee Intercollegiate State Legislature (TISL) is a forum for the top echelon of the state's campus leaders to exchange ideas, express their opinions, and learn how government works.
TISL's Senate and House of Representatives, which first convened in 1966, meet in the legislative chambers of the State Capitol each November.
The judicial branch of TISL is the Tennessee Intercollegiate Supreme Court, which presides over the Appellate Moot Court Collegiate Challenge (AMC3) at the same time the TISL legislature is meeting.
The AMC3 is a moot court competition for non-law students. Colleges form teams of two to five members to prepare a brief and argue for the petitioner and the respondent before the Court.
Producers, editors and reporters of TISL Media communicate in a variety of ways about events at TISL. Current initiatives include videos, a printed newsletter at the General Assembly, blogging, and Twitter.

Constitution Day
Constitution Day or Citizenship Day is a federal holiday that recognizes the adoption of the United States Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens. The law establishing this holiday was created with the passage of an amendment in 2004. Before this, a holiday called “Citizenship Day” was celebrated on the third Sunday of May. The new act mandates that all publicly funded educational institutions, and all federal agencies provide education programming on the history of the American Constitution. Constitution Day is observed on September 17 which is the day in 1787 that delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the document in Philadelphia.
