Ring Symbolism
Every element of the Greyhound Ring is symbolic. The top of the ring features the University seal. The University seal, which is only allowed on items approved by the Chancellor's office, features several marks that represent the history of our University.
One side of the ring features ENMU's most historic building, the Administration Building, and the founding year of the University. The other side of the ring is customizable to students or alumni to feature a timeless reminder of your memories and achievements at the University.
"By receiving an ENMU Class Ring, to me it proves to me that I have definitely made some sort of an impact here in my time at college and it is something to show for it."
"I feel honored to have received an ENMU ring. I feel that the tradition of the rings is just another means of creating community on campus which is my favorite part about ENMU. I wear the class ring with pride and as a reminder of my journey here at ENMU and I cannot wait to graduate and begin to wear my ring the other way to signal the closing of this chapter and the beginning of my next one."
