COS Students Receive UCF’s Highest Honor

Recently, two undergraduate students from the College of Sciences received UCF’s highest student honor.

The Order of Pegasus recognizes exemplary performance by undergraduate students in the areas of academic achievement, outstanding university involvement, leadership and community service. Because of the breadth of accomplishments required for this award, the Order of Pegasus is the most prestigious and significant student award that can be attained at UCF.

Political science major Alice Neira and anthropology major Shannon Payne will be honored at an invitation-only ceremony in April. Their names and photos will be added to the wall of the Pegasus Lounge, which is located on the second floor of the Student Union overlooking the Pegasus Ballroom. They will also receive commemorative medals, Student Government Association scholarships and lifetime memberships to the UCF Alumni Association.
