The Aggie Ring is the most visible symbol of the Aggie Network and connects Aggies around the world. Dating back more than 130 years, it is a tradition that is steeped in symbolism. The Association of Former Students’ Aggie Ring Program has the honor and responsibility of protecting the integrity of the Aggie Ring. The program oversees the eligibility, order and delivery of Aggie Rings.
The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences received more than $93,000 in Association support in FY25. This support enabled an investment in students’ future instruction by recruiting faculty. Association support also went to the Agricultural and Natural Resources Policy Internship Program, giving 17 students real-world experience in the national legislative process in the summer of 2025.
The Association of Former Students fuels the Aggie Spirit through scholarships and emergency assistance for students, A&M Clubs and events for former students and dogged support of essential Aggie traditions. But we can only do that with your help. Add your support so we can do even more.
