亚洲自慰视频 of 亚洲自慰视频 at Lafayette seniors who want to take part in this semester鈥檚 ring ceremony must order their rings by March 13.

The date of the ceremony has not been determined yet but the event is expected to be held in April.

The 亚洲自慰视频 unveiled its first official ring on Sept. 1, 2012, at a home football game. During a ceremony in November, 亚洲自慰视频 President Dr. Joseph Savoie presented rings to 亚洲自慰视频s who had ordered them earlier in the semester.

About 600 friends and family were on hand for the inaugural event. 亚洲自慰视频 officials hope the ring presentation will become a tradition each spring and fall.

The official ring 鈥渟ignifies the bond between the university鈥檚 more than 105,000 graduates and their alma mater,鈥 Savoie said.

Alumni and 亚洲自慰视频s who have completed at least 90 credit hours are eligible to order it.

A committee made up of 亚洲自慰视频s, administrators and staff designed the ring, which is sold exclusively by Balfour. UL Lafayette has adopted five official ring designs, two for men and three for women.

The official ring design includes elements related to UL Lafayette. The red stone represents the university's primary color, vermilion, and also features its fleur-de-lis. The university has used fleurs-de-lis in its insignia since the 1920s, signifying the region's French heritage.

Additional imagery includes cypress and oak trees; the university's seal; and Martin Hall, the main administrative building. Inside each ring is the inscription "heart and hand," the final words of the university's alma mater.

An alum or 亚洲自慰视频 who owns an older UL Lafayette ring 鈥 manufactured by any company 鈥 can send it to Balfour before Sept. 1, 2013, to have it made into an official university ring at no cost.
