Is an expression of wish like this natural? "As [initials of a university] celebrates its 50th anniversary, I wish it all the best and hope that it will ride on the crest of success based on the profundity of its unique history." Thank you very much!

Your use of “wish” is correct, and the grammar is generally good in your sentence. The word “profundity” seems odd to me. For one thing, “depth” might be a better synonym, for another, “crest” and “depth” are opposites, so you may need a stronger connecting phrase, or you may want to choose another word entirely. Another thing: You’ve actually succeeded to well at sounding “natural” — to “wish someone all the best” is so commonly used that it is not really a very strong phrase. Perhaps something more original would better express your feelings. One more thing: “University” can take the pronoun “it”, or (usually in UK English) “they”, but in your sentence, I’d be inclined to say “she / her”. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned — let’s see what other native English speakers think.
