History Of The
Virginia Tech Ring

Beginning with the Class of 1911, the presentation of the Virginia Tech Class Ring has been one of the most honored and anticipated traditions within the university. Each year class representatives design a new and unique ring incorporating the symbols and exceptional history of Virginia Tech.

The first ring committee was formed in 1914 and charged with the challenging task of creating a one-of-a-kind ring symbolizing the university and the experiences of the Class of 1914. The result was a beautiful ring, which embodied the pride and spirit of Virginia Tech. Since then, Virginia Tech’s ring program has developed into one of the finest and most prestigious in the nation.

The rich history and detailed design integrated into the Virginia Tech ring over time has created one of the most distinguished and loved traditions of Virginia Tech. The Class of 2003 Ring Committee has designed a collection of rings that pays tribute to the exceptional past of Virginia Tech, while incorporating some of the new symbols of today’s university.
