🎓The 2026 Senior Class picnic lived up to its 40+ year legacy—equal parts chaos, carbs, and core memories! There were games (some competitive, some…questionable), plates stacked like they hadn’t eaten all semester, and alumni t-shirts worn like badges of honor. For a few hours, deadlines didn’t exist and adulthood could wait!

Today, at the 6th Annual Lander University Ring Ceremony, rings were received, placed, and proudly worn.

Cheers filled the room, cameras flashed, and in one unforgettable moment, hard work turned into tradition.

These rings now carry late nights, lifelong friendships, favorite professors, and the pride of every step taken on campus.

Today they were placed… tomorrow they’ll be worn with stories that last a lifetime.
