Many seniors at Texas State are already anticipating graduation, and they're making plans and purchases to mark the occasion. That's where Ring Days play a part in the students' rite of passage. Bobcat Update's Alison Quisenberry (Quiz-in-berry) has the story.

The University Bookstore has been busy as students purchase their official class rings. For most students, a Texas State ring symbolizes hard work, significant accomplishment and the completion of a degree. Some would even call it a walking diploma. It's an exclusive honor. The only Bobcats who have the privilege of ordering and wearing Texas State rings are undergraduates who have completed 75 credit hours, graduate students and alumni.

Students receive their rings at a ceremony. Friends and family are invited to watch as Bobcats are recognized by name while dunking their rings into some San Marcos River water. The ring dunk symbolizes the spirit and tradition the river has brought to campus for more than 100 years.

The official ring ceremony will be held at Strahan Arena on May 11th. For Bobcat Update, I'm Alison Quisenberry.
