The judges of the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division, working with the Department of Homeland Security - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the University of North Florida Hicks Honors College, conducted a naturalization ceremony at UNF on Nov. 19.
More than 500 people, including about 250 students enrolled in the Hicks Honors College First Year Colloquium: National Identity and Migration Course, were witnesses.
“This ceremony provided hundreds of UNF students the opportunity to witness a live civics lesson. Our students’ participation in the American democratic process takes education beyond the classroom and into the real world,” Scott Brown, interim dean of the Hicks Honors College, said in a news release.
