West Virginia University students who have purchased a class ring are invited to receive their ring in a ceremony on Sunday, April 11.

The ceremony will be held at 1 p.m. in the Ruby Grand Hall of the Erickson Alumni Center.

Remarks will be given by Kevin Berry, associate director and chief operating officer of the WVU Alumni Association. The rings will be presented to each student individually by Ken Gray, vice president of Student Affairs, and Mountaineer Parents Club Executive Director Sabrina Cave will read the names.

“The ceremony is a great way to get initiated into the ranks of WVU alumni, and it is a wonderful tradition,” Cave said.

Students and their families are also invited to a reception following the ceremony.

Students must have obtained junior status before purchasing a ring. The rings can be purchased through Herff Jones representative Vince Rodi at 412-331-2562 or vincerodi@yahoo.com , the WVU Bookstore or online at http://www.herffjones.com/college/wvu.

All students who purchased a ring, and their families, have been sent an invitation to the Ring Day ceremony. Reservations are required and must be made by April 6. To make a reservation contact the Mountaineer Parents Club at 304-293-2506, or by e-mail at ParentsClubEvents@mail.wvu.edu.
