Via Lucis Society
The Via Lucis Society is named after the universityβs motto, Via Lucis, meaning βthe way of light.β Established in 2021, the Via Lucis Society honors Moravianβs most generous and dedicated supporters, whose lifetime contributions exceed $100,000. These exceptional individuals are the cornerstone of the Moravian community, providing the resources and opportunities that empower our students to excel and thrive.
