What is the UMHB Ring Tradition?
The official UMHB Class Ring was designed in 1995 to distinguish UMHB students and symbolize the bond between the university and its graduates. Each ring features the university seal and other symbolic elements that represent the spirit of UMHB. During the Ring Ceremony, students receive their rings in a formal event attended by family, friends, and faculty members. After the ceremony, students customarily gather at significant campus landmarks to take photos commemorating this special milestone.
How to Get a UMHB Class Ring:
