• Jacqueline Babb, College of Medicine, Doctor of Medicine

Students are nominated by a member of the university community and must go through a rigorous selection process. Order of Pegasus recipient’ names and pictures are hung in the Pegasus Lounge, an area in the Student Union dedicated to awardees. They also receive commemorative medals, SGA Scholarships and lifetime memberships to the Alumni Association.
