Annual UW Constitution Reading


An annual program to learn about and reflect on the U.S. Constitution, sponsored by the University of Washington Libraries

2024 Annual UW Constitution Reading

Wednesday, October 9th, 2024
Suzzallo Reading Room, 12-2 pm

Register to Read!

As part of the Federal requirement to provide educational programming on the US Constitution aligned with the national Constitution Day and Citizenship Day*, the UW Libraries holds an annual Constitution read aloud event. We welcome students, faculty, staff and community members to join us in reading the full text of the Constitution, including some very special guest speakers!

This community-led reading allows us to critically examine the historical and contemporary significance this document holds within our society.

*Because UW is not in session during this day, the Libraries hosts this celebration in October, when students and faculty are back on campus.
