With the theme, “Light and Truth, From Generation to Generation,” Judson will celebrate her 175th anniversary during academic year 2013–14. This year also marks the 200th anniversary of the arrival of Ann and Adoniram Judson in Burma (Myanmar) and the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement — an era of struggle in which justice and truth were sought. In this special year, Judson recognizes the intersection of three anniversaries. In so doing, we reflect upon extraordinary moments that have forever changed lives and look toward a future undergirded by Lux et Veritas — light and truth.
