A reception will follow the ceremony in the Old Main Pit. Students will have the opportunity to purchase a photo of them receiving his or her ring. Also, a group photo will be taken of all students who participated in the first ring ceremony.
George Miles, a member of the ring design committee and an SHSU alumnus, said the ring ceremony will be a historical event. "Tomorrow night will be a very historical event. It is the first time we have presented the ring to students and [is] the first ring ceremony," said Miles.
He has participated on numerous committees at the university for various reasons, but this committee was different. "This committee was special because of its historical significance," said Miles. "We created a design that will hopefully last for 50 to 75 years from now."
Miles said he enjoyed working on the committee comprising students, alumni and faculty and that they feel they have achieved their goals with the design. "We wanted a design that would stand the test of time," Miles said.
In regard to the ring ceremony, Miles said, "We hope that not only the students, but also their family, friends and guests leave the ceremony and are moved by what they've seen."
