Why is membership in the IRP limited to 270?
The availability of classroom space dictates that limit. Equally important is our commitment to small study groups and to the unique sense of community that distinguishes the institute from other learning programs. Members thrive in an environment that fosters social bonding, shared educational experiences, and attention to personal and intellectual development. So the limit must be viewed not just in terms of logistics, but in terms of the well-being of our learning community.
