ILR Spring Semester Registration NOW OPEN!

Today's the day! If you've reviewed the catalog and selected your classes, click the Register Now button below to sign up. If you're still deciding and plan to review our catalog and register later, you can either return to this email or visit our website, where you'll find the registration link, printable forms, and more information. Classes begin March 31st.

If you requested our catalog within the past week, know that it's on its way! Not yet receiving our catalog? Request a copy.

Have an upcoming group or club meeting? Pick up a stack of ILR catalogs and help spread the word. Catalogs are available at the ILR office (Oxford) and the Voice of America Learning Center (West Chester). Call the ILR office to arrange the quantity and pick-up time.

Online, mail, and in-person registration

While we offer three convenient registration methods—online, mail, or in person—choosing online registration ensures immediate confirmation of your spot in the class or event. Accessible through the ILR website or the Register Now button above or below, online registration is a simple process that requires no passwords. Once you've enjoyed the simplicity of online registration, you'll appreciate its efficiency—it's the best way to register for both you and the ILR office.

Early birds encouraged

Registration closes on March 24th. Please register early to ensure you receive all necessary materials on time and to secure the best availability for your favorite courses, avoiding waitlists.

Never hesitate to add your name to a waiting list. Openings often occur and we may be able to move to larger rooms based on the size of the waiting list.

Don't be returned to sender

Oh, the errors we see. If you make an error entering your personal information during registration, that information overwrites what we have on file in our database. We often discover many transposed house numbers, zip codes, and incorrect email addresses—a direct result of the information provided to us during registration. While some errors jump out at us, others go undetected and ensure we'll lose you. And we certainly don't want to lose you. Please be extra diligent with your digits when registering..

Meet your instructors

Our catalog's course descriptions leave little space to feature our instructors. Want to learn more about yours? Visit the About section of our website for a deeper dive into the talent you'll find in our classrooms.

Remember to show appreciation for your instructors—they're volunteering their time for you.

Maps & parking

Not sure how to get to your class location or register for an Oxford campus parking pass? Visit the Locations and Parking section of our website. You'll find a list of all locations, both on and off campus, many of which are linked to Google Maps, as well as instructions for requesting your electronic ILR parking pass, required for Oxford campus locations.

Making a difference

ILR's mission thrives thanks to the generous support of our volunteers, donors, sponsors, and advertisers. We're thrilled to announce that Berkeley Square is again sponsoring our spring semester. In addition, they will be hosting both our ILR Annual Meeting and Ice Cream Social and an exclusive tour of their beautiful community for our members and non-members. Sign-ups for these events—offered back-to-back on Friday, May 9—will take place during ILR's normal semester registration. See catalog, pages 8 and 10, for the details.

Since 1997, we've been dedicated to making a lasting impact on lifelong learners, both locally and beyond. We express our heartfelt thanks to Berkeley Square and all our supporters for their continued trust in us as we work to make a meaningful difference.

AI and You: Artificial Intelligence Made Easy

You asked for it; we've delivered! What could be more timely than an Artificial Intelligence course? And our hybrid format means it's available for you to attend in person or online—your choice!

This introductory AI course is designed to demystify Artificial Intelligence. We will define AI and explore its fundamentals such as its history, how it works, and where it is commonly used today. Some of the core concepts of AI, including machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing, will be introduced in non-technical terms. We will discuss AI and the human brain, ethical issues, and how to evaluate the accuracy of AI-generated information. Additionally, we will demonstrate several practical AI tools. Join professors of computer science, psychology, and business as well as a current PhD student studying AI as we explore this exciting field.

Instructor: Cathy Bishop-Clark is Dean Emerita of Computer Technology. Before retiring, she was Associate Provost and Dean of Miami’s regional campuses.

5 Wednesdays: April 2–30; 10:45 am–noon

Format: Hybrid

Location: Online or West Chester, VOALC, Auditorium
