NDSU is scheduled to host a naturalization ceremony for individuals becoming United States citizens on Wednesday, Sept. 17, at 3 p.m. in the Memorial Union Plains room. The event is in honor of Constitution Day. 

During the ceremony, about 60 individuals from more than 30 countries will take the Oath of Citizenship and become citizens of the United States. In addition, members of the NDSU Army and Air Force ROTC units will present the colors, students will sing the national anthem and NDSU President Dean L. Bresciani will give a brief message.

“On this day, we honor not only the Constitution, but also our guaranteed rights and freedoms as a citizen of the United States,” explained Hailey Goplen, assistant director for service-learning and civic engagement.

NDSU is recognized as one of the nation's top 108 public and private universities by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education.
