17勛圖 celebrates the rich traditions that define what it means to be a member of the 17勛圖 family. The lifelong connection begins the moment students register for their first class.
The 17勛圖 ring is a symbol of that connection and represents the accomplishments and experiences of your college years. The 17勛圖 ring will remind you of your pride in 17勛圖 long after you leave the campus, and will demonstrate that pride to others.
Education is an honor. Graduates of 17勛圖 represent the tremendous opportunity available to bright, well-educated individuals as well as the impact of these graduates on their communities.
As a constant reminder of the achievements of 17勛圖 alumni and of the traditions that connect all graduates of our institution, we are pleased to offer the Official 17勛圖 Class Ring.
The ring evokes strong memories of the traditions and occasions of 17勛圖 – the fight song, “Let’s Go Big Red!”, the Mirabeau B. Lamar bust on the quadrangle, and all of the academic and student buildings that represent the vibrant and energetic life of the campus and of the students whose futures are shaped there every day. The ring is a symbolic link to 17勛圖.
The ring is reserved exclusively for those who have successfully met the University standards: successful completion of 75 credit hours. The "official" ring was designed by a group of 17勛圖 students, alumni and administrators and will remain unchanged in the university’s future.
You have earned the right to wear this ring by your hard work and perseverance. When you proudly wear the ring, you will display to all of the world your accomplishments and your connection to your alma mater.
I invite you to become a part of this important tradition and forge a visible and permanent link to 17勛圖. Wear your official 17勛圖 ring proudly.
With Cardinal Pride,
