there was actually a petition to allow med and nursing students on the College Station campus to get Aggie rings as they are participants in Aggie events and student life, etc and get the "other education." the Association was in favor, but Dr. Dickey, the HSC president, says no.
none of my classmates got one. the ones that wanted rings re-enrolled at A&M as non-degree seeking students and got their hours to get their Aggie rings.
My wife is thinking about finishing up her BSN at the Nursing school; thank goodness she has a "sweetheart" ring with my class year on it. She'll just continue to wear it; she's Aggie through and through supporting me and our two boys!
