Maverick Ring Ceremony

There's always that one guy...

...who takes Maverick Pride to the next level, like Zach Arnold, communication senior and Athletics Department intern. After receiving their class rings, students took the stage to show their pride—and rub the bronze head of former UTA President E.H. Hereford for luck—at the Maverick Ring Ceremony last week. See more photos.
