Bring a friend to class weekJoin us for our first-ever Bring a Friend to Class week. ILR is twice the fun when shared with a friend. If you currently attend a course in a classroom with open seats, bring a friend along (with instructor approval) to the last meeting of the class, and introduce them to the joys of ILR. To do this week: Identify the class and the friend, then ask the instructor for his/her permission.

Time for an upgrade?
On May 15th, 2018, Cvent--ILR's onlne registration system--will be disabling encryption ciphers and protocols across their product platforms that are no longer considered secure by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
As a result, ILR's online registration will no longer be accessible from some older versions of web browsers. If you are still using these older versions, you must upgrade them in order to access our online registration system.
The following browsers will no longer be supported as of May 15th:
Google Chrome version 29 and below
Mozilla Firefox version 26 and below
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 10 and below
Microsoft Internet Explorer Mobile 10 and below
Apple Safari version 6 and below
If you need to update your browser and are wondering how to go about it, this tutorial explains all.

Add this to your list- Attend all remaining classes. We all have spring fever, but our instructors have worked hard and deserve your attendance.
- At the conclusion of your classes, thank your instructors. They are all generously giving their time for ILR and you. If you want to hear more, encourage them to teach again. See call for proposals below.
- Look for your member survey to arrive via email in mid-May. It'll be sent after all classes and events have wrapped up.

Call for proposals Are you sitting in class wondering how you can share your own expertise? Jump in! We're actively planning the curriculum for our fall 2018 semester, October 1 through November 2.
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 hoping you'll consider proposing a course for ILR. To get started, complete our course proposal form, which is also on our website under Volunteer - Teaching.
You, too, could end up leaving a quote such as this one received from a recent instructor: "It is a joy to teach to a classroom full of interested, enthusiastic and engaged learners. I can honestly say that my involvement in ILR has given my retirement a richness that I had not anticipated. The learning, the stimulation, and the sense of community are invaluable."
We're looking for fresh 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 is on your mind.
Ideas? Suggestions? Recommendations? Propose a class at the link above or email us at ilr@MiamiOH.edu. Proposal deadline for the fall semester is May 1.

Where and how should American citizens access trustworthy news, how do journalists determine real from fake news, and how can the average citizen identify fake news and avoid accidentally promoting it through social media? These questions and more are of great importance to citizens across greater Cincinnati and the nation. - April 26, VOA Museum
