an elite warrior sworn to uphold the values of faith, loyalty, courage and honor. Over

hundreds of years, those values carried forth, which is why today every UCF student

is known as a Knight. Our students consistently uphold these merits. They achieve top

academic accolades, as well as uphold loyalty and honor.
