On February 12, 2010, the MIT 2012 Class Ring (aka "Brass Rat") was unveiled in a special presentation at Kresge Auditorium. The high point of the presentation was a surprise pre-recorded video, sent from MIT alum astronaut TJ Creamer aboard the International Space Station. In the video, which was orchestrated by the Aeronautics and Astronautics Department, Creamer speaks about the importance of MIT to his career and the meaning of the Brass Rat.
