About Us



Pegasus Palooza is the University’s official Welcome Week and is designed to help students (freshman through senior, transfer, or Connect campus student) acclimate to the campus and get connected to UCF while learning about a variety of resources and making friends. Events are designed to introduce students to campus life, educate them about campus resources and what they can do to be successful, and provide them with fun things to do in their first week back to school.
