Turkish term or phrase: yeni ufuklara
Motto of a university.I'm not sure if an English native speaker would really say 'To new horizons'. Any ideas for an elegant translation that sounds natural?
Thanks in advance.

English translation:In search of new horizons
Explanation:
This version - and there is clearly more than one possible answer here - remains faithful to the original while sounding like natural English. You could also go for 'in quest of new horizons' if you want something more flowery.
