The start of the fall semester is an exciting time at any college campus, but with Pegasus Palooza it’s a weeklong celebration of all the great things to come at Âé¶¹Ó³»´«Ã½. The annual event provides students with engagement opportunities that can help them excel academically, get involved on campus and meet new friends. The festival began with the Knighting — a welcoming ceremony for new students — and continued with a popsicle social, concert with music duo The Driver Era, events to learn about resources at Âé¶¹Ó³»´«Ã½ and more. Students also got a sneak peek of this year’s Homecoming Week celebration, which took place the week of October 22 and featured a mystery theme.
“These events are important because they serve as the first impression and first experience for our new Knights.â€
