San Antonio Zoo Ring Day

University honors students during fun and beloved ceremony
A&M-San Antonio continued its cherished tradition of A&M Zoo Ring Day, celebrating the achievements of students receiving their University rings. More than 200 ring boxes were placed inside San Antonio Zoo’s jaguar enclosure, which was watched over by B'alam, one of the zoo’s most beloved residents. University leadership and students gathered at the event to honor the students’ accomplishments. This unique ceremony, launched in fall 2022, brings together tradition, education and community engagement. “Zoo Ring Day adds a special element of pride and community spirit,” said President Salvador Hector Ochoa. “It’s an honor to celebrate our students in such a meaningful way.”
