These programs are used to mark the passage of time as well as the development of new relationships and skills throughout the academic year. The intent is to focus the attention of Emory on sophomores, and to focus the attention of sophomores on Emory. Formal events, such as the class ring ceremony, as well as informal social events, will provide a ceremonial backbone to the sophomore experience at Emory.

Class Pin Ceremony
Sophomores receive a lapel pin which is a replica of the Emory crest found on the official class ring. This ceremony is a finals study break in early December. Because the event is advertised as a study break, food is incorporated into the program. A short presentation on the history of the crest is part of the ceremony. The Alumni Office and the College Bookstore co-sponsor this event.
