The UCF community honored 14 students who passed away during the past academic year at the Eternal Knights Memorial Service on campus Wednesday.<\/p>\n

In its tenth year, Eternal Knights recognizes students\u2019 family and friends as the university community joins together to remember loved ones and offer condolences.<\/p>\n

During the eulogy, students were individually recognized and given the title \u201cEternal Knight.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the ceremony, students and faculty and staff members from across the main campus and UCF\u2019s Regional Campus communities commemorated the lives of lost students by participating in a 30-second moment of silence.<\/p>\n
