Every year the “What the Constitution Means to Us” event is a highlight of our first semester programming and a great introduction for the years theme. Showcased were contributions from select students and faculty, as well featured scholars: Doris Kearns Goodwin, the celebrated presidential historian, and Akhil Reed Amar, Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science at Yale University and the author, most recently, of Born Equal: Remaking America’s Constitution, 1840–1920 (2025). Bellow, we have highlighted a couple of wonderful reflections on this event by our student affiliates as well as some images:
