Cadets attend the Ring Figure Ball after receiving their class rings, a tradition at military colleges.

Class of 2024 celebrates in style

The VMI Class of 2024 spent their last days before furlough celebrating an important cadetship milestone with a supper, ring presentation ceremony, and Ring Figure Ball. “When you feel the weight on your finger, or when the sparkle of the stone catches your eye, it will remind you of your achievements, and the bond with your brother rats. Wherever you go, the ring will be noticed, so wear it with honor, pride, and sense of duty.”—Maj. Gen. Cedric T. Wins '85.
