There is a prevailing trend on campuses in our nation to cultivate a sense of tradition among its students and alumni. Schools with strong traditions enjoy higher student retention rates, volunteerism and donor participation than schools without such traditions. An official ring is a proud and visible symbol of the connection that students and alumni feel toward their alma mater. Our experience in developing official ring programs at hundreds of universities across the country can play a vital role helping an institution establish an official ring tradition among its constituents.

Experience has shown us that the most successful Official Ring traditions involve the cooperation and commitment of the entire campus. Many of the most innovative ideas you see in our best practices originated from our partner institutions. Our goal is to win the approval and support of the students, the administration, the alumni association, student affairs, student government and the bookstore to build the most successful program possible. The end result is the opportunity for the institution to earn significant financial rewards and also valuable intangible benefits such as increased student and alumni affinity.
