Institute for Learning In Retirement

We were hoping to welcome you back to our Fall 2021 program, but unfortunately, due to uncertainty and expectations of campus space shortages, in-person programming is not being held. We are working on developing alternative options. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the ILR office via email. We are hopeful for a return to campus in the future. Stay healthy and we look forward to welcoming you back to the ILR.

At the Institute for Learning in Retirement, our aim is to develop opportunities for sharing knowledge and skills with others.
