Kennesaw State University Libraries Celebrate Constitution Week

During Constitution Week, Kennesaw State University Libraries organized a series of engaging events from September 16 to 20. The festivities kicked off with a faculty panel discussing the 25th Amendment and presidential succession, featuring insights from political science faculty. Voter registration events were held on both Kennesaw and Marietta campuses, allowing students to register, check their status, and interact with historical figures, and most importantly a therapy dog and library mascot, Summer the Corgi. A highlight of the week was the unveiling of a rare 1840s facsimile of the Declaration of Independence, accompanied by the launch of the exhibition "We the People: The Documents That Made Our Nation." Additionally, a signature student event allowed participants to immerse themselves in the 18th century through hands-on activities, including calligraphy and Constitution trivia. Overall, the week celebrated U.S. history while encouraging civic engagement among students.
