Mission Statement
The Institute for Learning in Retirement (ILR) at Copiah-Lincoln Community College is a program designed to offer quality educational experiences for senior adults. The ILR supports the philosophy that senior adults are eager, self-motivated learners who are capable of defining and directing their own educational activities. Based on this philosophy, the ILR provides non-credit classes on various topics decided upon by ILR members. In addition, the ILR sponsors social events, membership meetings, luncheon lectures, seminars, and field trips.
The Institute for Learning in Retirement (ILR) at Copiah-Lincoln Community College is a member of the Elderhostel Institute Network, an internationally-known program that offers quality educational experiences for older adults.
