Ringer graduated cum laude in May 2015 with her bachelor's degree in nutrition and dietetics from West Chester. While competing for the Golden Rams, she was a United States of America Gymnastics (USAG) Scholar Athlete, Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Academic Honor Roll member and an academic all-conference honoree. Ringer also has a master's degree in public administration and is working towards a Master of Science in kinesiology and recreation – sport management.
"Cassandra brings hands-on experience in student-athlete welfare and the mentorship of young women," Saleem added. "She understands the championship culture we are creating here at Ball State and is going to immediately relate to each member of our program. She has experience as a club coach as well as in the NCAA which will help her bring out the best in each one of our student-athletes."
