It was with great sadness that we learned of Iris Norris' passing on April 11. Iris was a beloved student of the ILR Program. She took courses for many years, often taking close to or over two dozen a year! Her favorite topics were history and current issues. She was actively involved in our curriculum development and was a tremendous voice for the program. We will miss her so much. Those that know her enjoyed her good nature, sense of humor, and delightful stories. She was always a joy to be around.
