If the Queen can do it, so can you!
It's easier than you think. You've been stuck at home for far too long. If you're anxious to return to the classroom, we have many in-person classes still available. There are plenty of virtual classes as well, along with others in the hybrid format, giving you the option to attend in person OR virtually.
Don't sit this one out. Connect with your friends and join in the learning and fun. Most virtual and hybrid ILR classes will use Cisco Webex conferencing. All you'll need is an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or mobile device. Sign up for a free training session below and we'll have you connected and feeling confident in an hour.

ILR goes global
Current, past, and new members and instructors can now join ILR from anywhere in the world. In the U.S., we've now reached the four "corners" with students joining us from every direction. Because the pandemic needs a silver lining, we're proud to report that our hard work invested during last year's pivot to virtual classes has resulted in "here to stay" exciting opportunities for ILR's instructors and students.

**IMPORTANT** New Covid-19 protocol
For the past 18 months, Miami University's first priority has always been to protect the health and safety of the campus community. To that end, in-person classroom participation requires adherence to the following safety mandate: Regardless of vaccine status, facemasks must be worn inside all Miami buildings. Instructors may remove their masks while teaching, provided they can maintain at least six feet of distance from their students. Please note that while under a mask mandate, eating is prohibited in all in-person classes.

When buttresses fly
The origins of Gothic architecture in France, England, and Central Europe are related to indigenous political, religious, and cultural
conditions. While each geocultural region developed important aspects of the Gothic style to suit particular needs and aspirations, each also produced startling tours-de-force with distinct
qualities and accomplishments. The course will seek to explain interrelationships as well as differences between these major expressions as it broadens the definition of Gothic architecture.
Special attention will be paid to the 2019 fire at Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.
Join your instructor, Robert Benson, Professor Emeritus of Architecture History and Theory, Miami University, as he takes you soaring to impressive heights to view the stunning architecture of many breathtaking cathedrals. 5 Tuesdays: October 5–November 2; 2:15–3:30 pm. See page 13 of the ILR FA21 Course Catalog for further details.
