Citizenship Day, observed alongside Constitution Day, celebrates the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. It encourages individuals to reflect on their role in the democratic process, emphasizing the importance of active participation in civic duties such as voting, jury service, and community involvement. Recognizing this day helps cultivate a sense of belonging and duty among citizens, reminding them of their contributions to the nation's democratic fabric.
Together, these observances not only honor the historical significance of the Constitution but also promote an informed and engaged public. They foster a deeper appreciation of the principles of democracy and inspire individuals to actively contribute to the ongoing development and preservation of democratic society.
Gonzaga annually celebrates Constitution Day and Citizenship Day by supporting voter education and voter registration activities in partnership with Gonzaga Student Body Association (GSBA), the Center for Community Engagement, and students of GU communications and political science.
