A special MIT Brass Rat melt ceremony will be held virtually in March 2021. The donated rings will be melted and mixed into the alloy that will make the next generation of rings, and the value of the gold will bolster the financial aid program to offset the cost for current students who cannot afford to purchase a ring.
Stephen Fantone ’74, a Brass Rat collector who presently has more than two dozen rings, piloted the Brass Rat Melt Project in 2020, donating a number of gold rings from his collection to help raise funds for the Class of 2022 Ring Committee’s financial assistance program, which works to ensure that all MIT students can purchase a Brass Rat. The project is back for 2021, supporting the Class of 2023.
