UCF has named 21\u00a0students as recipients of the Order of Pegasus, the university\u2019s most prestigious student award.<\/p>\n
The 2017 recipients were selected from a pool of 65\u00a0nominations. The 2017 class includes eight LEAD Scholars, eight President\u2019s Leadership Council members, six Student Government Association leaders, 14 Burnett Honors College students, two Greek members, and one student-athlete.<\/p>\n
Undergraduate students are chosen for Order of Pegasus each year based on their outstanding achievement in the areas of academic achievement, university involvement, leadership and community service. Graduate students are selected based on the same merits as well as publication or research experiences. Because of the breadth of accomplishments required for this award, the Order of Pegasus is the highest student award that can be attained at the university.<\/p>\n
The winners will be honored at a ceremony this spring on March 27.<\/p>\n
The names and a picture of the inductees will be added to the wall showcasing past and present Order of Pegasus recipients in the Pegasus Lounge located on the second floor of the Student Union. Inductees also receive commemorative medals and scholarships from the Student Government Association.<\/p>\n
