Who We Are
Institute for Learning in Retirement (ILR) is offered by Old Dominion University. The curriculum is varied; retirement-age people choose the programs they wish to attend. Each Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer terms a schedule announces the classes and activities and briefly describes the presenter. During the year you will find classes offered such as the arts, social issues, science and technology, history and current issues, local issues, health-related subjects, and the Great Books.
Members become as actively involved as they wish -- sharing knowledge and participating in dialogues and seminars. Socializing is an important aspect of ILR. Field trips, a once-a-year luncheon, and trips to museums, the opera, and other places of interest are offered.
Lecturers are invited from the academic world to speak on their specialized subjects, as are other knowledgeable instructors and peer presenters.
