The UCF Creed
Integrity, scholarship, community, creativity, and excellence are the core values that guide
our conduct, performance, and decisions. These values comprise the guiding principles
that direct the actions of the University, its students, and its employees.
Integrity
I will practice and defend academic and
personal honesty.
Scholarship
I will cherish and honor learning as a
fundamental purpose of my membership in the UCF community.
Community
I will promote an open and supportive campus environment by
respecting the rights and contributions of every individual.
Creativity
I will use my talents to enrich the human experience.
Excellence
I will strive toward the highest standards of performance in any endeavor I undertake.
PEGASUS was the winged horse of the muses in Greek Mythology. It carried their hopes, their aspirations, and their
poetry into the skies. PEGASUS is as futuristic as tomorrow’s space exploration in our solar system and
into the universe beyond. The seal also bridges the gap between the humanities and space technology.
I hope you are excited about the new academic year and the many opportunities that await you at UCF. Work
hard in your classes and participate fully in extra-curricular activities, and you will be rewarded with an excellent
education along with experiences that will enrich your life.
A college education is all about learning, and excellent learning occurs in our classrooms, laboratories, and
studios. But you will also learn important lessons when you volunteer to tutor grade-school students, play sports,
get involved in student government, and participate in any of the numerous clubs and organizations on campus.
Take pride in your university. Our academic programs are setting the standard for the nation, our faculty
members are nationally renowned for their teaching and research, our academic service-learning program is
among the largest in the nation, and our athletic teams compete with the best in the country.
Take pride in yourself. Make the UCF Creed an integral part of your value system. Conduct yourself on campus
and in the community to bring distinction to you and to our university.
You have my best wishes for success during this coming year. UCF faculty members and staff members are here
to help you to learn, to grow, and to excel. Upon graduation, you will join the more than 170,000 alumni whose
lives have been changed by their UCF experience.
Remember, UCF stands for opportunity. Seize this opportunity for your success.
Cordially yours,
John C. Hitt
