Official Class Ring
Your East Texas A&M Ring
The official class ring is a timeless symbol of your journey at East Texas A&M. It represents perseverance, achievement and Lion pride. Worn by generations of graduates, it serves as a lasting connection to your alma mater and the bonds you've built along the way. Long after graduation, your Ring will be a proud reminder of your accomplishments and a symbol recognized by fellow alumni everywhere.
Tradition
Our official class ring is more than a symbol of achievement—it's a tribute to the legacy of the iconic Victory Bell, a cherished emblem of resilience and pride since 1886. That year, our founder, Professor William Leonidas Mayo, brought a humble cast iron farm bell to campus. Over time, it became a rallying point—used to wake students, call assemblies, and celebrate triumphs.
Every Lion begins their academic journey by touching the bell, a symbolic gesture of commitment and tradition. When they receive their official ring, they return to the bell and touch it once more—this time with their ring—connecting their journey with the generations who came before them.
This proud tradition unites Lions across time through the enduring symbol of the Victory Bell.
Come Celebrate Your Victory!
The Ring Ceremony is a special tradition that celebrates your achievements as an East Texas A&M student. During the ceremony, you'll receive your official class ring, joining generations of Lions in a moment of pride and connection. It's a milestone that marks your journey and the beginning of your lifelong bond with the university.
