Finally\, two decades after Washington’s first proposal\, on March 16\, 1802\, the United States Military Academy officially opened.

SUMMARY:Ring Weekend - Class of 2025
DESCRIPTION:A formal ceremony held on Trophy Point\, Firsties receive their much anticipated class ring. After the command to “Don Rings” and subsequent hugs and celebrations with family\, the Plebes will traditionally recite the “Ring Poop\,” encouraging the Firsties to show them their new rings. This can get aggressive\, with Plebes chasing Firsties around the barracks to pin them down\, and is a light-hearted event for all. \nPlan to arrive early in the afternoon on Friday to scout out your spot with picnic blankets and chairs. We recommend bringing a picnic basket along to enjoy while you wait for the parade of Firsties to make their way to Trophy Point for the ceremony.  This is definitely one of the best events and weekends for families to attend! \nYou can watch the Class of 2025 Ring Ceremony here.
