Ongoing Mentor Program - Pairing Luys Students with Armenian Scientist Worldwide

This program assembles a community of thinkers and doers who are committed to meet each summer around a specific theme, to bring state-of-the-art knowledge to create a new synthesis to be shared by the international community. The people who create and take part in the Ateliers are people who are known in the world and in their fields for their significant ideas and contributions. They will continue working and thinking together on-line during the rest of the academic year.

The Luys Summer University (LSU) Plants Seeds for Personal Growth and Commitment

Students at LSU enjoy an infusion of commitment and passion and vision – the encouragement to imagine and build a better future. They are asked to reflect on what ingredients have gone into making the best learning situations they have encountered, and what creates the transformative power of learning. Understanding this process will contribute to their own growth.

In our brainstorming sessions at LSU we will make ourselves aware not only of the present reality and challenges, but of the vision that goes beyond it to a sustainable world. We confront the basic questions: What do we need to understand? Where are we going? What do we already have to build from?
