On Friday, September 19 at 10:00am, the Robert H. Jackson Center invites you to join us for our annual Constitution Day program, a chance to reflect on the meaning of citizenship and the enduring importance of civic participation in our democracy
Each year on Constitution Day, we commemorate the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787. More than a historical milestone, it is a reminder of the principles that continue to shape our nation: liberty, equality, justice, and the rule of law. The Constitution is not only the foundation of our government, it is also a living document that entrusts citizens with both rights and responsibilities.
Taking time to reflect on this anniversary helps us consider how we the people uphold those values today, and how we can strengthen them for future generations.
We are honored to welcome Dr. Lindsey Cormack, author of How to Raise a Citizen (And Why It’s Up to You to Do It) and Director of the Diplomacy Lab at Stevens Institute of Technology. Dr. Cormack is a leading voice in the study of political communication and civic education, and her work shines a light on how everyday Americans - students, families, educators, and community members alike - can play a meaningful role in shaping democratic institutions.
Whether you’re an educator looking to inspire your students, a student curious about your role in civic life, or simply someone who wants to strengthen your community, this program offers timely insights and inspiration.
Thanks to the generous support of our donors and sponsors, this event is free and open to the public. We encourage educators, students, civic leaders, and community members to attend and be part of the conversation.
Come be part of a day that celebrates not just the Constitution itself, but the responsibilities and opportunities it gives us as citizens.
