RING DAY CONTINUED
AC Steadman, civil engineering se
nior and a third generation Aggie, also
received his ring before the stormy
weather hit Friday, and said the event
was surreal.
“It kind of hasn’t hit me yet that I
have it,” Steadman said. “I was kind of
nervous but then I finally came here
and got it. And now it’s just really
weird having it on my hand now. ”
Among those in attendance was
Benjamin Knox, Class of 1990. Knox
has attended Ring Day ceremonies
for the last 15 years to paint and sign
his artwork to raise money for an en
dowment through a program with the
Century Club.
He said the spectacle of Ring Day
differs sharply from when he received
his own ring.
“I was in the Corps and I was work
ing pretty hard at the time,” Knox
said. “I just ran up and grabbed my
ring. I wasn’t even able to pick it up
on the official day. This is really fan
tastic that the Association of Former
Students has created the whole Ring
Day experience.”
With the Aggie Ring, Knox said
Aggies recognize each other any
where, citing personal examples of
meeting former students everywhere
from Big Bend National Park to
Greece. He said receiving the Aggie
Ring should be a point of pride for
students.
“It’s something you earn, and that’s
something that’s a treasure and can be
proud of that for the rest of your life,”
Knox said.
Other Aggies who had to receive
their rings Saturday were disappointed
by the Friday cancellation, but were
still excited to get their rings.
One such student was Ashley Falls,
kinesiology junior, who had intended
for her grandfather to present her with
the ring Friday. Falls said her grandfa
ther was not able to be in town Sat
urday.
“It was really heartbreaking being
surrounded by my family and my Class
of ’51 grandfather and not being able
to have him present it to me, but the
Association of Former Students was
very professional and worked hard
to still make Ring Day on Saturday
special,” Falls said. “All in all it wasn’t
about when I got it, it just feels good
to have my little piece of gold.”
Savannah Schwarz, English junior,
was at the alumni center just minutes
away from getting her ling when the
announcement was made that Friday’s
ceremonies were cancelled and post
poned.
Tim Lai —THE BATTALION
Biomedical sciences senior
Hayden Perry received his ring on
Friday before the association shut
down the event.
“It was frustrating because no one
was moving and it would have been
easy to slip everyone through if they
had just continued the process,”
Schwarz said. “I was upset but I was
okay with knowing that I’d get it with
my family the next day. If Saturday
didn’t work out, my parents would
have been beyond upset.”
