National Constitution Day Conversation

Are you pondering what are—or should be—the most compelling constitutional issues in a post-pandemic America? Constitution Day, Sept. 17, also known as “Citizenship Day,” recognizes the signing of the United States Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787 in Philadelphia, and all who have become U.S. citizens.

Metropolitan State University’s observance this year includes this special event, made possible by our university’s membership in the American Democracy Project (ADP).

Designed to reach across differences, this hour-long national dialogue, hosted by AASCU's American Democracy Project and The New York Times, creates a space for open discussion of the U.S. Constitution. This event is based on the fundamental value of the pursuit of knowledge for the public good. Register and join us for this national dialogue. You don't need to be an expert in the law or the Constitution to enjoy this event and to share in the lively conversation! Free and open to all higher education students, faculty, and staff.

Constitution Day at Metropolitan State is co-sponsored by the Institute for Community Engagement and Scholarship, Library and Information Services, and the university-wide American Democracy Project. ADP is a network of 296 public colleges and universities serving 2.7 million students across 48 states plus the District of Columbia that are committed to preparing students with the knowledge, skills and experiences to be informed and engaged citizens. Join us in that endeavor.
