Ring Committee was given a $70k budget, which was used for promoting ring sales, as well as the facilitation of two large-scale events, Ring Premiere, where the Brass Rat design is revealed, and Ring Delivery, a formal event at which members of the class receive their Brass Rats.
Ring Premiere was held at MIT’s Kresge Auditorium. Students lined up six hours before the event start to claim their Brass Rat souvenirs!
Ring Delivery was held at the State Room, a popular location for formal events in North Boston.
My individual role was to write and edit all written and spoken publications from the committee, such as the text descriptions for the ring details that is written on our website (http://twenty13.mit.edu/ringcomm/).

Class of 2013 Brass Rat - Spring 2011
One of the most recognizable rings in the world, the Brass Rat, MIT’s class ring, is redesigned each year by a select group of students from the class –the Ring Committee. While major features of the ring are kept according to tradition, most aspects of the design are left for the Committee to create and customize as a representation of their class’s undergraduate experience. For the Class of 2013, I was one of ten selected members to be on the committee.
