Materials are in English.
The Institute for Continued Learning was established in 1992 by Kathy and Gene Fletcher as an avenue for retired and semi-retired persons over the age of 50 to continue their "intellectual pursuits and activities within the Willamette University environment." Originally a guest program on the Willamette University campus, ICL joined Willamette to become the Willamette University Institute for Continued Learning in 2001.
ICL was based on the Elderhostel Institute Network model, of which Kathy Fletcher was the Oregon State Director for ten years prior to founding ICL. ICL began with 29 members and grew to its capped membership of 160 by 2012. Members attend bi-weekly classroom sessions that follow Willamette's academic schedule. The Curriculum Committee designs each semester's instructional program, covering a wide range of the liberal arts and sciences. In addition to current and retired Willamette faculty and guest speakers, ICL members bring their expertise to teach classroom sessions. Members also participate in on-campus events, social activities, and a field trip each semester.
The Institute for Continued Learning at Willamette University records consist of administrative files; financial documents; and the minutes of the ICL board, membership committee, and curriculum committee. Also included are analog and digital photographs of members during social activities, plays, and field trips, as well as photographs of presenters.
Recently archived versions of the Institute for Continued Learning website include the version archived on May 2015 and the versions archived from September 2015 available at The Willamette University website Institute for Continued Learning Web Archive. Archived websites prior to May 2015 can be found via the Internet Archive.
The records are arranged into five series: I. Administrative files; II. Meetings and Reports; III. Curriculum; IV. Memberships, and V. Photographs. Files are arranged in original order, either alphabetically or in chronological order. In many cases, photographs are identified with names and dates.
As per the University Records Management Policy, these records are closed to researchers.
