AUAP instructor Laura Carney now a U.S. citizen
Laura Carney, a senior instructor teaching American studies in Western's Asia University America Program, is now a citizen of the United States. Carney, formerly a Canadian, joined five others from Canada, Guatemala, India and Vietnam in taking the oath to become naturalized U.S. citizens at an event today on campus.
It was the first time that citizenship oaths have been administered on campus. Carney's AUAP students attended the event.
Earl Gibbons, vice provost for Extended Education at Western, spoke at the event and was among the first to welcome Carney and the others as citizens.
