On Veterans Day and in this season of thanks, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the ILR veterans for their unwavering dedication, sacrifice, and commitment of service to our great nation.
As we wrap up our fall term, whether you were a student, instructor, presenter, donor, sponsor, or guest, we're thankful you made ILR a priority by joining us and so many of your friends and colleagues this semester.

Thank your instructors
Your instructors and lecture series coordinators are volunteers. Their dedication to ILR and commitment to you and your classmates is evident in the time they invest in preparing and delivering their courses. Their email addresses can be found on your student schedule. Please take a moment to thank them. Want to hear more from your instructors? Please encourage them to teach again by leaving comments in our end-of-semester survey.
End-of-semester survey
Very soon, all fall students will be emailed an end-of-semester survey. Please let us hear from you so we can continue to bring you the classes, tours, events, and experiences you value.

Last call for proposals
We're actively planning the curriculum for our spring semester, March 31 through May 2, 2025.
Whether the passion for your subject matter stems from your career, hobby, or life experiences, you'll find an audience that's eager, interested, and hopeful you'll consider proposing a course for ILR. To get started, complete our course proposal form, which can also be found on our website under Teach in the Quick Links box.
Have you taught an ILR class in the past? Consider offering it again at a new location or format (online or in person). Otherwise, we're always looking for new, refreshed, and/or perennial favorites in literature/writing, science/nature/horticulture, technology/photography, art/theater/music, current events/politics, health/nutrition/sports, geography/history, philosophy/religion, or whatever else fuels your passion or is on your mind.
Ideas? Suggestions? Recommendations? Propose a class at the link above or email us at ilr@MiamiOH.edu. The proposal deadline for the spring semester is November 30. Need an extension? Just holler.
