  • What is Ring Day?

    arrow
    Ring Recipients and their guests will be guided by their Ring Leader through an individualized experience. University Rings will start their journey by receiving the spirit of the Jaguar in the dome overnight, and the ring box was honored by the Jaguars at the San Antonio Zoo. Ring Recipients will join their family members for a welcome video before participating in the University Ring Tradition at the President's Seal. A chosen family member will be selected to place the university ring on the Ring Recipient's finger for the first time while standing on the President's Seal. A professional photographer will take free pictures to remember the moment. The Ring Recipients and family will be escorted through campus to 8 different photo moments, including the tradition of placing a penny at the Madla Statue and showing off their ring at the ring monument. Finally, Ring Recipients will be greeted by Herff Jones and Alumni Affairs to conclude the event with a commemorative ring cookie - made by an A&M-SA Alum.
