The official spring 2024 Ring Ceremony was hosted in May at the Chapel of Memories. The Ring Ceremony, held twice each year before the fall and spring commencements, is a time-honored tradition for presenting the university’s official class rings. MSU President Mark E. Keenum, center right, was the keynote speaker and presented participants with their rings. MSU’s ROTC and Black Voices Gospel Choir also made special presentations during the ceremony. The Alumni Association recognized Stephen Woo, center left, who earned MSU degrees in 1994 and 1995, as an active local chapter volunteer and national alumni board member, and as the spring ring honoree. If you or someone you know is interested in a class ring, please contact the Alumni Association at info@alumni.msstate.edu.
