Tom Green County in 1945 created a County Junior College District and elected the first board of trustees. In 1947, the first building was constructed on the present university site.cite web|title=Angelo State University|work=Handbook of Texas Online|url=http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/AA/kca7.html|accessdate=2008-10-10]The university has experienced a rapid transition from the status of a regional junior college to that of an accredited senior institution of higher learning.

Homecoming
Homecoming is a historic ritual jointly run by the Alumni Association, the university and the students. Activities include the annual Alumni Awards Banquet, honoring alumni; a pep rally followed by a torch parade to light the bonfire; a homecoming parade; and the football game. The crowning of the Homecoming Queen and King is held during the game's halftime.
All during the week leading up to the game, student organizations compete for the Spirit Stick, given to the group who has shown the most spirit and contributed the most to the many tasks required to make the event a success.
Since 1975, ASU's Air Force ROTC Detachment 847 has built the bonfire.
Ring Ceremony
Though Angelo State rings have existed since the beginning of the University a new official ASU ring was introduced by the ASU Alumni Society in 2003. [ [http://www.asuring.com The Official Ring of Angelo State University] ]
Prior to each commencement, the ASU Alumni Association hosts a ring ceremony where the university president presents class rings to recipients.
Appearing at each ceremony is ASU's mascot, Dominic. After receiving their rings, recipients touch their rings to Dominic's horns for strength, or rub them through his wool for luck.
The top of the Angelo State class ring presents the ASU seal. One side of the ring shows the State of Texas with a star marking San Angelo; below that, an oak branch. On the other side is an image of the mascot, Dominic.
Ram’s Head
The Ram's Head sign is made by bending the middle and ring fingers down over the palm and covering them with the thumb. The extended index and pinky fingers are then bent halfway to represent the curve of the horns.
The sign is used at various times during athletic events and typically during the playing of the Alma Mater.
Gum Tree
The gum tree is a mesquite tree located at the southwest corner of the Porter Henderson Library, where students stick used pieces of chewing gum for good luck on exams.
ASU legend is than a gum-chewing suitor placed his chaw there prior to asking his girlfriend to marry him. When she said yes, the happy young man attributed his good luck to his gum deposit. Since then, hundreds of students have left their chewing gum on the tree for good luck. [ [http://www.angelo.edu/history_&_traditions/gumtree.html Gum Tree] ]
Mascots
A purebred Rambouillet ram, Dominic, stands as a symbol of Angelo State University and the institution's ties to the region and its people. The first Rambouillet ram, named "Shorty," was donated to the college in 1940 by area rancher D.T. Jones, who had two daughters attending the school at the time.
The ram was an appropriate symbol for the institution and the region because San Angelo has long been the center of the Texas wool and mohair industry, and was the home of the Texas Sheep and Goat Raisers Association. Angelo State's ram went by a variety of names until 1964, when the student body held an election to decide on a permanent moniker and "Dominic" won out.
Today Dominic is a regular fixture at ASU activities, ranging from the ring ceremony to outdoor athletic events. He is typically kept close to the end zone at Angelo State football games.
A costumed mascot named Roscoe appears at most athletic events and many community activities, where he leads cheers and interacts with students and fans. [ [http://www.angelo.edu/history_&_traditions/roscoe.html Roscoe] ]
