The journal’s name, Illuminare, is derived from the Latin llūminō and means to light the way, illustrate, or inform.  Aptly, it corresponds with the overall purpose of the journal:

The Illuminare strives to light the way by reviewing, encouraging, and assisting students in efforts to publish and participate in the publishing process, and to inform by distributing and sharing student research in the field of parks, recreation, tourism, or leisure studies.
