| "It's rare to work one-on-one with a professor as you can here. The LRC has an open-door policy that differentiates us from programs at other schools. Working with my advisor, I learned about ORA's LightTools software package and about luminaire design and optics in general. He also encouraged me to put together a final package for the semester that I would be able to submit to a competition." |

| "For the curious, this is the place to acquire a deep grasp of lighting issues. There is a culture at the LRC that encourages us to probe to a full understanding of the underlying mechanisms at work in any given situation." |
| --Jason Neches, class of 2003 |
| "I applied to only one graduate program: the M.S. in Lighting program at the LRC. After ten years in the workplace, I was looking for an effective start to a new career. Most other available lighting programs in the U.S. were heavily biased toward either engineering or design. In contrast, the LRC offered a more holistic approach to lighting education. The prospect of studying at the world's leading lighting research institute was a compelling attraction, too! My experience at the LRC was overwhelmingly positive. I firmly believe that I built relationships there that will last a lifetime." |
| --Bob Lingard, class of 2002 |
| "I chose the LRC over other schools offering a graduate program in lighting because of its multi-disciplinary approach. I felt that whereas other programs are weighted more towards design or towards engineering, the M.S. in lighting at the LRC offered a balanced mix of design, technology, and human factors." |
| --Javier Ten, class of 2000 |
| "What inspired me most about the LRC were the professors and faculty--despite their extensive lighting knowledge and experience, they never stopped asking new questions and searching for different answers. That's something I still carry with me today in my own pursuit for lighting design excellence." |
| --Carolyn Saalfield Knowlton, class of 1995 |
| "What impresses me most about the LRC is the high standards that it holds for quality and objectivity and the growth opportunities that it provides to talented, hard-working people." |
