Naturalization Ceremonies

The Center has the opportunity to honor the eldest citizen at every Naturalization ceremony for the Southern District of Indiana. These ceremonies are held approximately 35 times per year. NATURALIZATION-CEREMONY-GENERIC

The eldest citizen being naturalized is recognized during the ceremony by an International Center staff member or intern and presented with the gift of an American flag that has flown been over the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. The Center’s involvement in these ceremonies is done in memory of Toni Cordingley, a municipal court judge in Indianapolis who was also a naturalized citizen as well as a beloved member of The Center’s Board of Directors.
