Springing forth
Ah, the sights and sounds of ILR in the springtime: scurrying to class amidst yellow daffodils and purple lanyards, encountering new and familiar faces, exchanging friendly greetings, sharing hearty laughter, and, of course, embracing abundant learning.
Whether you find yourself in the classroom, auditorium, or gym; outdoors on tours or the pickleball court; online, joining us virtually from across the county or country; whether you are a presenter, student, or host — we are delighted that you have chosen to invest your time in the many joys of lifelong learning this semester. Your participation inspires and energizes us.
Our spring semester is beyond its midpoint with classes, tours, and events all in motion. If you missed the opportunity to join us this spring and aren't yet receiving our catalog, request a copy and make plans to join us this fall, October 7 through November 8.
On our website's home page, you'll find our current classes and events, instructor bios, FAQs, and a wealth of information.
