ILR
Workshop, Trip or Event Proposal
Form* ILR
Class Proposal
Form *
A "class" meets at
least twice; a "workshop" or "event" meets just once. "Trips"
usually take several hours, but longer trips are possible.
Please use the "Workshop,
Trip or Event" proposal form for one-time activities. We
welcome proposals at any time.
Specific plans for
ILR classes, events, etc. are developed during the following
months:
- Fall Term Classes -- April
through early June
- Spring Term Classes -- October
through early December
Timeframes and length
of meetings:
Although we do have a
few logistical constraints, the ILR welcomes proposals that fall
outside our usual parameters.
- A CLASS generally meets for 2-8
sessions. Each session usually lasts 1.5 or 2
hours.
- An EVENT or WORKSHOP typically
meets on a single day, and can last 2 to 8 hours.
- Proposals for overnight or day
trips are WELCOME.
- In the FALL Term, most
classes/events begin no earlier than the 3rd or 4th week of
September and end no later than Thanksgiving.
- In the SPRING term, most
classes/events begin no earlier than the 3rd or 4th week of March
and end no later than mid-May.
Classes/events
planned for the months of June, July, August or December, January,
February can be arranged in special cases (e.g., a Holiday shopping
trip; a sailing class, etc.).
Facilitators and
Instructors are urged to participate in the Kick-Off Celebration
which typically is scheduled 2-3 weeks prior to the start of ILR
classes.
Level and
Format:
- ILR members are well educated and
mentally sharp. Classes/events may include suggested
readings, but exams and required assignments are
verboten.
- Formats that encourage active
participation are preferred.
Days, Times and
Locations:
Daytime, Weekdays:
ILR participants prefer activities in the daytime, Mondays
through Fridays. (Saturdays may be used for one-time events,
trips or workshops.) We usually schedule classes on Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, reserving Fridays for trips or
other one-time events.
Classrooms:
If your class/event
needs computers, AV or large chalkboards, you will need to use
space either in the CLCL (Center for Lifelong & Community
Learning at 165 Elm Street in Slippery Rock), at SRU's Wexford site
or in a classroom on the SRU campus. Each of these options is
available during different time frames.
- SRU's CLCL is available all day on Mondays and on
Fridays.
- SRU's on-campus
classrooms usually are not
available to us until mid-afternoon. Because parking space is
scarce prior to those times, on-campus classes should begin no
earlier than 2:30 or 3:00 pm.
- Cranberry Public Library
is available for classes most days.
If your class/event
just needs tables and chairs and a portable chalkboard, you can use
Gail Rose Lodge, on the edge of campus. It is
available for classes all day.
Please indicate on
your proposal form the locations that are acceptable to
you.
Benefits of Leading
an ILR Class/Event:
- You meet lively and
interesting people.
- University Volunteer
Status: ILR
instructors/facilitators receive a letter from the SRU President
appointing them as official university volunteers. This
status provides limited insurance coverage while on "university
business".
- Free SRU Parking
Sticker
- Mileage
Reimbursement if travel
exceeds 20 miles one way.
- Expense
reimbursement for
supplies, duplicating, etc. that you purchase for the ILR
class/event.
Your proposal will
be forwarded to the ILR Curriculum Committee.
We look forward to hearing from you!
