The Grad Rat Ring

MIT’s Graduate Student Class Ring, also known as the Grad Rat, is a timeless tradition at the Institute. During AY 2023-24, the Grad Rat committee redesigned the ring for the first time in 5 years!

The design takes inspiration from MIT's rich history and traditions while incorporating unique elements that speak to the experiences and identities of the graduate community. We can't wait to see the Grad Rat proudly worn by our classmates for years to come, serving as a symbol of our shared journey through MIT and beyond.
