Our Awards
As a UCF Knight, you have much to be proud of — including your alma mater’s official magazine.
Since 2012, Pegasus magazine has been recognized for excellence by a variety of professional organizations, including the American Advertising Federation (ADDYs), the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), the Florida Magazine Association (FMA), the Printing Industries of America, the Telly Awards, and the University and College Designers Association (UCDA).
