ILR promotes learning and curiosity in retirement
The Institute for Learning in Retirement, called the ILR, is a group of active seniors who are committed to lifelong learning. Membership is open to all who are retirement age without regard to race, religion, gender, color, or national origin. Based at the Virginia Beach campus of Tidewater Community College, we enjoy intellectually stimulating lectures, discussion groups, social events, and trips.

TCC has closed the Pungo Building to correct water damage. However, we are grateful that it has relocated the ILR program to the Lynnhaven Building. This accommodation actually saves us steps because we have been passing the Lynnhaven Building on our way to Pungo for a few years.
When you come to campus to attend a class, park in the same area. You will be facing the Lynnhaven Building which is the last building on this end of the campus. It has a children’s play area to the far right. Its main entrance is in the middle of the side facing the parking lot. Once you enter the building, proceed down the main hallway to the second “intersection” of halls. Turn right and you will see room E-146 on your right. Restrooms are directly across the hall on your left. The ILR office has also be relocated to this building in E-124. It will be staffed Wednesdays 11 am – 2 pm and usually during on-campus classes. We hope the closeness to the parking lot will be a bonus to attending classes. Since building renovations are generally not speedy, we expect to be here past the fall quarter. We will keep you informed.
Social events and speakers blend learning with funAlong with an array of speaker topics, members have enjoyed special events each quarter. In spring the social committee organized a visit to the Norfolk Zoo where members toured the kitchen as well as the treatment and surgery rooms. In July they visited Duke Riley's exhibit at the Virginia Beach Museum of Contemporary Arts. Last December a group traveled to Edenton, NC for a holiday home tour. In September they will tour the headquarters of Operation Smile. Click any picture below to see them enlarged. |
