UCF has named 23 students as recipients of the Order of Pegasus, the university\u2019s most prestigious student award.<\/p>\n

The 2021 recipients were selected from a pool of 83 nominations. The 2021 class includes 15 Burnett Honors College students, six LEAD Scholars, six Student Government leaders, three President\u2019s Leadership Council members, one Greek member, one student-athlete and three transfer students.<\/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.<\/p>\n

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 March 26.<\/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.<\/p>\n
