The observance of this day began as “I am an American Day” in 1940 and later as Citizenship Day in 1952 when the celebration was moved to September 17 to commemorate the signing of the original document. Constitution Day as we observe it today was recognized as a federal holiday in 2004\, when Senator Robert Byrd passed a bill designating September 17 as the day for citizens to commemorate the signing of the U.S. Constitution and to thoughtfully engage with the nation’s founding document. \nOn Friday\, September 19\, 2025\, the American Founding Group and the School of Public and International Affairs will host a celebration of Constitution Day. The centerpiece of these festivities is a lecture by Mark Graber\, Regents Professor at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law. \nPrior to the lecture\, the UGA Libraries will host “Constitution on the Quad\,” featuring Constitutional trivia and student readings of the Constitution. In addition\, historical documents and materials related to the American founding and U.S. Constitution will be on display at the Chapel from the Hargrett Rare Book & Manuscript Library. \nFor more information about the 2025 Constitution Day celebration at UGA\, click here. \nWHEN: \nFriday\, September 19\, 2025\n1:30 pm  |  Constitution in the Quad: Constitutional trivia and student readings of the Constitution\n1:30 pm  |  Display of historical documents and artifacts in UGA Chapel\n2:00-3:00 pm  |  Lecture by Professor Graber \nWHERE: \nUGA Chapel\n109 Herty Drive\nAthens\, GA 30602\nView Map » \nEVENT PARKING: \nThe North Campus Parking Deck offers convenient pay-by-the-hour parking for Constitution Day events.
