America gained 25 new citizens Tuesday in Central Florida.
They all took part in a naturalization ceremony at Rollins College Tuesday in Winter Park.
The 25 took the Oath of Allegiance under the eye of Rollins College Professor Julia Maskivker, who is teaching a course this fall on the democratic process.
Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Antonia C. Novello, the first woman and Latin American to serve in the position, gave the keynote speech.
