The Official Ring's symbolism emphasizes the common bond and shared experience of all U of A graduates and also invokes each wearer to tell his own unique story. The recognizable tower of Old Main serves as the central point of the ring bezel and stands as our "Beacon of Hope," as sung in our Alma Mater. The beacon is symbolic of how we look to her as a source of enlightenment and guidance through life's changes. The "Senior Walk" side of the ring combines the rich and sometimes subtle history of the University with the new history each graduate makes. Worn closest to our heart, it represents the academic prowess of the University. Worn facing the world, the "Razorback Spirit" side of the ring symbolizes the concept that our spirit gives us strength and our strength gives us spirit.
