Sophomore Ring Ceremony

During the spring of their sophomore year, students are presented with their class ring by the president of the College. Student leaders and alumnae join sophomores and their families at this pivotal event.

Sophomores choose faculty sponsors to honor as a part of the ceremony.

Traditionally, while the Converse woman is still a student, the ring is worn with the insignia facing herself. When she graduates, the insignia is turned outward, representing that she is ready to face the world.

The shape of the Converse ring is highly recognizable and connects generations of alumnae. Converse women have been known to recognize each other by their rings in grocery stores, business settings and far-flung locales.
