In recognition of Constitution Week, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will welcome America’s newest citizens during a special naturalization ceremony at Rowan College at Burlington County on Friday, Oct. 1, at 10:00 a.m. 

USCIS Deputy District Director Tamika Gray will administer the Oath of Allegiance. Dr. Michael A. Cioce, president of RCBC and Burlington County Freeholder Deputy Director Balvir Singh will address the new citizens. Kenneth Mariano, RCBC’s political science instructor and program coordinator, will serve as master of ceremonies. Ya-Mei Chen, director of the Mount Laurel USCIS Field Office, will offer closing remarks. 

50 candidates from over 30 countries, from Algeria to Vietnam, will become citizens during the ceremony. 

During Constitution Week, USCIS celebrates the connection between the Constitution and citizenship and encourages all Americans to reflect on what it means to be a citizen of the United States.
