For each Class the Ring Design Committee is chosen in the sophomore year. The committee members brainstorm for months, striving to gather the most important elements of our Virginia Tech experience. The 2011 Ring Committee chose meaningful elements from Blacksburg and the Virginia Tech campus to represent the experiences and events that shaped our lives as Hokies. Given that 2011 is the 100th year of ring tradition at Virginia Tech, the committee was tasked with commemorating this event for the class and the university. This year's ring contains elements from not only our class experience, but from a rich history of past class rings.
