Charter Day Charter Day 2025 Date Coming Soon!

What is Charter Day?

Every year, Jacksonville University celebrates its birthday and the signing of its charter. In honor of our founding, the University hosts Charter Day, involving service to our community, celebratory activities, and a Global Toast for our friends around the world who cannot be with us in person for the festivities. 

Whether on campus or celebrating in your community, students, faculty, staff, and alumni are encouraged to join in the festivities, and wear your green and white with pride.​​

 

Thank you to our 2024 volunteers, community partners, and celebration attendees! We are looking forward to celebrating with you again next year. Keep an eye out for the annoucement of the official Charter Day 2025 date! 

For any questions, contact Emma Bryan at ebryan2@iownsf.com or (904) 256-7039.
