UCLA and Bible Latin Motto

The Latin motto, "fiat lux" - let there be light is UCLA's Latin motto and can be found in the Bible. I chose this particular motto because, over the summer, my family and I toured UCLA and I really loved the campus. I thought it was gorgeous and well constructed. This motto is fitting for a place of education because when one learns something new, a new light shines inside of them. This motto is also significant because in the bible when God created the world, he said, "let there be light". I adore this motto because of its meaning and historical significance.
