175 Years of Light

For generations, Waynesburg University has delivered on the promises made with the signing of the University’s Charter.

Today, as in the past, we continue to educate students with the character, courage, faith and compassion to shine brightly in these modern times.

The theme of this demisemiseptcentennial year is “175 Years of Light,” which focuses on honoring the University’s mission of faith, learning and service as well as its motto, “fiat lux,” or “let there be light,” with a special emphasis on Matthew 5:14, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.” 

As part of the celebration, we will be hosting a special calendar of events starting in 2024 centered around this theme. This calendar will feature regularly occurring annual events centered around the 175^th theme such as Charter Day, the Glenn A. and Jane L. Crosby Humanities Lectureship and Homecoming, as well as special additions specifically created to honor the milestone year.

We look forward to celebrating the past, present and future of Waynesburg University with you all in the coming year.
