The mentor and the writing center are great! The mentor is really helpful with figuring out a research question, designing a good plan for gathering data, and reviewing and editing my paper. Also, she knows where to find relevant papers to study and has helped me find some really interesting and insightful articles. And the writing center helps too. They hold online sessions on how to write a paper. Whenever I send them my paper for advice, they come back with the most helpful feedback right on time. Their suggestions are spot-on, and they always provide explanations to back them up.

I learned so much and it helped broaden… I learned so much and it helped broaden my mind so much. My mentor was lovely and very knowledgeable about the topic

Lumiere Program Experience I really enjoy the overall design and organization of the Lumiere program. The syllabus of the program is given to you at the beginning to the program, and if you follow the syllabus, you will not have a hard time completing a high quality research paper. I really appreciated the help given to me from my mentor. This is my first time writing a research paper, however, with his help, I now fully obtained the skill of writing a standard paper. He answered my questions both in meetings and in emails immediately and motivated me during my writing process. Overall, I enjoyed this program a lot and learned both about the topic I researched and writing skills for academic papers.

Lumiere's Magic Touch My experience with Lumiere was exceptional. As it was my first time, I was amazed how smoothly the entire process unfolded. The pairing with my mentor Mr. Trevor Dean Arnold from Cornell University was outstanding as we quickly built a strong connection and this would not have been possible otherwise. The extra writing sessions proved to be greatly beneficial, providing me with valuable guidance. I cannot stress enough how much of a lifesaver the Lumiere Handbook was, it even allowed me to complete everything last minute by simply following the well-structured patterns outlined within. Overall, my experience with Lumiere exceeded my expectations, thanks to the seamless process, excellent mentorship and the invaluable resources provided.

My smooth experience with Lumiere Lumiere has networked with the best mentors who are not only always willing to help you but also patient enough to listen to your ideas. Each week, my mentor pushed me to go a step ahead in my journey and he believed that what I learn while researching matters more than a .docx file. In addition to this the staff demonstrates excellent work ethic. It was great to have them during any problems, always ready with their strategies and management.
