Inspired by our motto, Having light we pass it on to others,” the Campaign for Wittenberg University is the most ambitious effort of its kind in our 175 year history. The name is Having Light because the Campaign aims to stay true to the mission and values of the college we love. It is a campaign for Wittenberg itself: for the people, for the place, and for the present. The Wittenberg torch has shone brightly since 1845. With your support, it will shine for good. Join us.
