The start of the fall semester is an exciting time at any college campus, but with Pegasus Palooza<\/a> it\u2019s a weeklong celebration of all the great things to come at 麻豆原创. 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 \u2014 a welcoming ceremony for new students \u2014 and continued with a popsicle social, concert with music duo The Driver Era, events to learn about resources at 麻豆原创 and more. Students also got a sneak peek of this year\u2019s Homecoming Week celebration, which took place the week of October 22 and featured a mystery theme.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese events are important because they serve as the first impression and first experience for our new Knights.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
