“The ring means so much to me. As a student it binds me to alums who have shared great college experiences; as a woman it ties me to those who have helped forge the paths I walk on, and as a person it ties me to the University I love, where I have discovered myself and my passions.”

Shari Paulson

"Traditions are very important to me.  I feel that my Nebraska Ring eternally links me to the traditions at the University  of Nebraska which I hold so dear.  It also serves as an ever present reminder of where I spent my college years, and encourages me to never stop contributing to the place that gave me so much."

John Stewart Lohr

“One of the most important things to me about the ring is that when I look at it reminds me of my college years. College was the best time of my life and every time I see it, the ring helps remind me of my time at Nebraska . The commonality that everyone can take the ring away with them from Nebraska is the ring and the fact that you can see someone in another state and make that connection with them.”

Jeff West

“The University of Nebraska Ring symbolizes the pride and tradition that exists amongst students and alumni alike.  I am grateful for the experiences I had during my time on campus and this ring will always be a token of these fond memories.”
