A
A
As
we
begin
today's
ceremony,
I
would
like
to
thank
the
city
of
Pittsburgh's
mayor's
office,
welcoming
Pittsburgh,
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
Carnegie
Mellon
University
in
the
city
parks
Conservancy,
for
making
this
special
ceremony
possible,
where
we
stand
here
today
in
celebration
of
you
as
soon
as
to
be
new
citizens
of
the
United
States
the
journey
each
of
you
has
taken
to
arrive
here.
This
is
diverse
as
each
of
you
this
space,
where
we
stand
also
has
a
long
and
journeyed
history.
Prior
to
2006,
we
would
have
been
standing
in
a
parking
lot.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
Michael,
as
a
first-generation
Cuban
American.
It
is
so
special
for
me
personally
to
be
here
today
and
to
carry
out
the
mayor's
vision
to
build
a
more
welcoming
experience
for
our
all
of
our
residents,
particularly
for
our
newest
immigrants
that
are
coming
and
to
our
city
and
a
population
that
we're
seeing
grow,
whether
it's
our
residents
from
Bhutan
or
from
Latin
America.
The
community
is
growing
and
we
want
to
make
sure
the
mayor
is
committed
to
making
sure
that
your
experience
here
is
as
welcoming
as
possible.
C
I
had
the
great
pleasure
before
the
ceremony
started
to
speak
with
a
gentleman
in
the
audience,
and
he
was
saying
his
story.
How
he's
been
living
here
for
more
than
forty,
some
years,
small
business
owner,
Italian
and
soon
to
be
proud,
italian-american?
And
it's
just
so
moving
your
story
is
my
story.
As
my
parents
story
is
the
mayor's
story,
he
speaks
proudly
of
his
Italian
roots
and
we're
just
so
thankful
this
stuff
that
you're
taking
is
so
meaningful
and
please
know
that
it's
not
lost
on
us.
C
A
Thank
you
Betty.
Now,
let's
get
on
with
the
business
of
the
day,
I'm
going
to
call
out
the
roll
call
of
countries.
When
you
hear
your
country
called,
please
stand
and
remain
standing
for
the
oath.
At
this
time,
I
want
to
present
20
applicants
for
naturalization
from
the
following
11
countries.
Bhutan.
A
A
That
I
will
support
and
defend
the
Constitution
and
the
laws
of
the
United
States
of
America
against
all
enemies,
foreign
and
domestic.
That
I
will
bear
true
faith
and
allegiance
to
the
same.
That
I
will
bear
arms
on
behalf
of
the
United
States
when
required
by
the
law
that
I
will
perform
noncombatant
service
in
the
armed
forces
of
the
United
States,
when
required
by
the
law.
A
A
D
D
Set
foot
in
the
US
I
came
here
as
a
student,
and
it's
only
the
United
States
is
unique.
Just
within
a
couple
of
decades.
After
becoming
a
naturalized
citizen,
I
was
asked
by
the
President
of
the
United
States
to
lead
a
federal
agency.
We're
officially
I'll
have
my
reporting
authority
to
the
president.
D
It
cannot
happen
in
very
many
places
on
the
planet.
It's
a
very
unique
place
and
I'm,
not
just
the
only
one.
So
let
me
talk
about
Carnegie,
Mellon
University
and
how
it
has
been
enriched
by
waves
of
immigrants
who
have
come
here,
starting
with
our
founder
Andrew
Carnegie
in
1848,
a
family
of
seven
people
from
Danville
and
Scotland
who
lived
in
one
room,
took
the
long
journey,
a
one-way
trip
to
settle
just
outside
Pittsburgh.
D
What
is
now
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
just
across
the
street,
from
here
in
1900
the
year
in
which
he
became
the
richest
man
in
the
world,
he
made
an
offer
to
the
mayor's
office
to
create
a
university
that
would
educate
the
sons
and
daughters
of
steel
workers,
and
that's
how
the
university
that
I
am
so
fortunate
to
lead
today
was
born
just
115
years
ago,
coming
with
nothing
to
the
u.s.
in
1848
and
becoming
the
richest
man
in
the
world
in
1900,
Andrew
Carnegie
also
said
something
that
is
etched
permanently
in
world
history.
D
He
made
the
famous
statement
that
to
die
rich
is
to
die
disgraced
by
the
time
he
died
in
1919.
He
had
pretty
much
given
away
everything
that
he
had
earned
and
he
earned
quite
a
bit.
So
that's
the
story
of
an
immigrant
one
immigrant,
and
just
last
week
in
New
York
City.
We
gave
the
Carnegie
Medal
of
philanthropy
two
groups
of
individuals
and
his
legacy
still
continues.
D
D
He
pioneered
the
construction
of
many
buildings
and
bridges
all
across
China,
and
his
name
is
very
well
known
even
today.
Well
after
his
death
in
China,
an
immigrant
couple
from
Ukraine
named
Marvin
and
Sarah
Resnick
settled
in
Akron
Ohio.
They
sent
their
daughter
Judith
to
Carnegie
Mellon
University,
who
got
her
degree
in
1970.
D
Judith
became
only
the
second
American
woman
in
space
and,
unfortunately,
and
tragically,
she
lost
her
life
in
the
space
shuttle
Challenger
disaster.
Another
immigrant
couple
from
slovakia
named
andrew
and
julia
war
cola
came
to
the
u.s.
in
the
early
1900s,
their
son
Andy
Andy
Warhol
was
educated
at
Carnegie
Mellon
University,
and
he
became
the
pop
artist
of
his
generation.
D
D
27%
of
the
population
of
the
citizens
of
California
today
were
born
abroad
and
many
many
people
who
have
founded
companies
in
Silicon
Valley,
who
made
Silicon
Valley
what
it
is
were
born
abroad.
So
all
of
us
have
significant
I,
have
significant
things
to
contribute
to
different
enterprises,
art
humanities,
culture,
science
and
technology,
economics,
etc,
etc.
The
citizenship
is
also
a
privilege
to
have
it's
not
just
a
right,
and
we
have
to
exercise
that
privilege
by
getting
engaged
as
I.
Congratulate
you
on
this
significant
milestone.
D
A
E
So
I
know
your
journey
didn't
start
today,
you've
been
on
this
journey
for
a
while
and
I'm
quite
sure.
This
has
been
a
journey
that
you've
shared
with
your
family
and
friends
as
you've
made
this
decision
and
I'm
sure
you
have
not
approached
it
lightly,
but
we
want
to
welcome
you
to
this
country
as
full.
Citizens
is
only
a
country
made
of
our
entire
national
history,
as
a
country
is
written
by
citizens
who
were
like
you
once
former
citizens
of
another
land
who
came
here
to
seek
opportunity
or
contribute
to
a
land.
E
That's
based
on
an
idea,
the
idea
that
holds
that
these
truths
to
be
self-evident,
that
all
men
are
greedy,
that
they
are
endowed
by
their
creator
with
certain
inalienable
rights
that,
among
these
are
life
liberty
and
the
pursuit
of
happiness.
My
own
family,
like
most
families
in
the
u.s.,
tell
their
own
story
through
the
lens
of
our
immigration,
my
ancestors
just
one
or
two
generations
before
me.
Hailed
from
Europe
places
like
Ireland,
Germany
and
Lithuania.
E
They
came
to
seek
work
and
to
find
opportunity
and
to
join
their
families
that
had
come
before
them
and
to
prosper,
and
my
relatives
became
part
of
the
American
experience
working
on
farms
working
in
factories
attending
school,
getting
married,
raising
families
and
serving
and
contributing
to
our
country.
These
experiences
framed
our
personal
American
journey,
but
it's
a
story
that
always
starts
anyone.
You
talked
to
with
our
original
countries
of
origin.
We
celebrate
the
unique
pride
of
our
heritage
and
our
culture
and
how
it
enriches
our
American
story.
E
You
know
this
city
of
Pittsburgh,
one
that
literally
drove
the
United
States
through
the
Industrial
Revolution,
to
transform
us
from
an
agrarian
society
of
farmers
to
leaders
in
industry
and
now
technology
is
a
city
of
immigrants
to
a
remarkable
degree.
Pittsburgh's
neighborhoods
retain
their
cultural
identity
and
proud
heritage.
E
Even
today-
and
it
was
these
neighborhoods
in
fact
that
built
the
University
of
Pittsburgh-
quite
literally
as
it
turns
out
our
first
Chancellor
Hugh
Henry
Breckinridge
himself,
an
immigrant
from
Scotland,
the
Scottish
were
I
guess
into
the
university
business
here
started
a
small
university
on
the
western
frontier
when
this
country
was
not
yet
born.
In
fact,
the
Constitution
was
just
being
written
that
year
and
a
later
Chancellor
Chancellor
John
Bowman,
who
wanted
to
build
a
tall
building
to
symbolize.
E
The
growing
character
of
the
city
began
a
project
in
the
1920s
to
build
the
Cathedral
of
Learning
that
you
see
behind
us
now
that
grand
project
was
interrupted
by
the
depression
and
as
the
as
the
construction
came
to
a
stop
and
facing
enormous
difficulties.
Chancellor
Bowman
turned
to
the
neighborhoods
of
those
immigrants
who
were
building
and
constructing
this
building
for
their
support,
and
they
responded
dramatically
by
donating
their
own
scarce
resources,
their
own
treasure
and
their
own
sweat
to
complete
the
project
and
in
gratitude.
The
University
began
the
nationalities
room
program.
E
These
rooms
are
rigidly
19
and
out
over
30,
were
to
celebrate
the
unique
heritage
of
our
Pittsburgh
region,
but
also
to
serve
as
a
symbol
of
national
unity
and
pride.
Each
room
is
designed
in
the
heritage
and
with
the
support
of
the
sponsoring
country,
and
it
showcases
an
incredibly
important
time
that
country's
history
as
long
as
it
predates
the
founding
of
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
in
1787.
E
These
projects
were
constructed
with
architects,
designers
and
laborers
from
their
home
country,
and
these
rooms
are
a
source
of
great
pride
in
their
heritage,
but
they
are
part
of
a
celebration
of
being
part
of
this
national
and
regional
treasure,
one
where
we
come
together
to
build
a
place
of
learning
in
the
heart
of
this
industrial
city
and
I
believe
that
you're
gonna
write
the
next
great
chapter
of
Pittsburgh
in
the
region
by
bringing
your
own
individual
creativity
and
passion.
By
sharing
your
own
unique
heritage
with
all
of
us,
you
will
enrich
in
in
advance.
E
The
American
story
is
through
this
vibrant
combination
of
our
collective
diversity
that
explosive
mixing
of
humanity,
where
we
all
realize
the
full
potential
of
human
achievement.
That
is
why
we
embrace
diversity
and
inclusion
at
Pitt.
It's
why
the
mayor
Pittsburgh
has
made
welcoming
Pittsburgh
essential
program
to
make
this
city
more
attractive
to
immigrants
and
I
believe
that
our
future
success,
whether
it's
for
the
university
for
the
city
for
the
Commonwealth
or
for
the
country,
will
depend
on
the
creativity,
the
labor
and
the
passion
of
our
newest
immigrant
citizens.
A
Thank
You
Gallagher
for
your
remarks
on
this
special
day.
That's
about
you,
one
of
the
most
unique
things
that
we
do
here
in
Pittsburgh
is
we
have
one
of
our
new
citizens
speak
and
we
do
open
the
floor
to
others
who
might
like
to
speak
as
well
so
well,
he
comes
up.
This
will
give
some
of
you
in
the
audience
an
opportunity
to
tell
your
story
so
think
about.
A
F
F
My
goal
is
the
brief
to
talk
about
kind
of
like
my
upbringing,
how
I
ended
up
here
and
I'll
end
up
in
Pittsburgh,
so
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Istanbul
Turkey
spent
a
couple
of
years
in
Germany
and
in
2003
my
mother
I
came
to
Davis.
She
was
on
a
Fulbright
Scholar
to
kind
of
explore.
My
goal
initially
was
to
learn
English.
F
F
F
If
you
pick
a
path
that
you're
not
happy
with,
you
can
change
your
path
as
long
as
they
honest
and
really
care
about
the
people
that
you're
surrounded
with
and
with
that
said,
I
kind
of
went
ain't,
no
thang,
all
my
advisers,
all
the
people
that
have
supported
me
and-
and
my
final
words
would
be
no
matter
what
path
you
choose
and
in
this
in
this
country,
in
this
wonderful
country.
As
long
as
we
stay
honest,
we
work
hard
and
we
strive
to
make
a
difference
in
this
society.
F
A
A
A
A
G
A
One
last
time
I
would
like
to
congratulate
all
the
candidates

citizens

family
members
and
friends
for
joining
