All treats, no tricksStep inside any store and you'll wonder exactly what month we're in or which holiday is approaching. But there's no seasonal confusion as ILR winds down our fall semester—our largest in three years—and we're thankful you chose to join us. Following a winter break and a recharging of our batteries, we'll look forward to rejoining you in class next spring, March 27 through April 28, where you'll be treated to another enriching semester.
