ILR returns to tcc campus

With safety precautions in place, The Institute for Learning in Retirement can return to meeting in person on campus beginning in January. Many classes will also be delivered with Zoom.

The Institute for Learning in Retirement, called the ILR, is a group of active seniors who are committed to life-long learning. Based at the Virginia Beach campus of Tidewater Community College, we enjoy intellectually stimulating lectures, discussion groups, social events, and trips.

For a yearly membership fee you will receive a quarterly schedule of our programs and events. Classes, trips, discussion groups, and socials require registration and payment. Read more to see if joining ILR might enrich your retirement life as well.

Virtual art show extends through december

You have only December to enjoy the talents of our members and possibly find inspiration to try a hobby in the new year. Let the slide show run or click the side arrows (< and >) to enjoy each image at your own pace. Click each name in the article "Meet the Artists" to learn more about the people and their inspirations. Several of our exhibitors began exploring their talent only when they retired from careers. We hope more ILR members will step out of their routines with paintbrush or camera in hand and see life with renewed intensity.
