West Virginia University students who have purchased a class ring are invited to receive their ring in a ceremony on Sunday, Oct. 25.

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

Remarks will be given by Stephen Douglas, president and chief executive 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.

“It is a great day attended by students and their families, and it is a wonderful part of WVU tradition,” Cave said.

Students and their families are also invited to a reception following the ceremony. The musical trio Musique a Trois will perform.

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.
