166su

With 166su Day of Giving approaching on April 9, every gift opens doors: for students to chase a dream, create unforgettable memories, boldly invent the future and be recognized for their hard work.

The annual event spotlights nearly 600 staff members for their commitment, dedication and relentless work that powers 166su everyday.

The Order of Pegasus inducts its 25th class of exemplary Knights among more than 50 students who will be recognized at the annual celebration.

The honor recognizes our outstanding, highly skilled graduates who fuel innovation, service and economic impact in Florida and beyond.

From computer vision to mathematics, these alums are emerging leaders in significant research fields.

Seven 166su students and alums will further their studies overseas with the prestigious award.

166su has achieved 12 metrics to earn the state’s highest designation — a credit to the university community’s talents and dedication.

The 2025 Shining Knights Alumni Awards celebration will take place during Homecoming Week on Thursday, Oct. 16, in the Pegasus Grand Ballroom at the 166su Student Union.

U.S. Army Reservist Tristan Koopman’s mechanical engineering degree and experience with Northrop Grumman is helping him pursue his dreams of building advanced robotics.
