| The ILR at Baldwin-Wallace College | ||
| The Institute
for Learning in Retirement (ILR) was formed at
Baldwin-Wallace College (B-W) in Berea, Ohio in the Winter
of 1992 by a group of B-W staff and residents from
surrounding communities. It was formed to be an
autonomous organization with its own officers, working
committees, by-laws and financial support. Its
objective was to offer senior adults the opportunity to
continue learning in an informal, flexible and
non-competitive college environment. There were to
be no tests, grades, or homework. Fees for courses
were to be kept at a reasonably low level. To meet
this goal, the ILR is operated on a completely voluntary
basis. From staff to instructors, no one gets paid.
The ILR course calendar is set up to offer three quarters
per academic year. The first quarter begins in
September, the second in January, and the third in April.
Courses are taught in a pleasant, small college
setting. Homework is not assigned and tests are not
given. Between 18 and 21 courses are presented each
quarter. Membership is required to register for
classes. |
