ICL Room 627Institute for Continued Learning Roosevelt1400 N. Roosevelt BlvdSchaumburg, IL 60173-4377USA1-224-523-6497Description: Peter Sellers has been variously described by his peers as "the greatest comic genius England has produced since Charles Chaplin,” one of the most glittering comic talents of his age,” and as one who "changed like a chameleon throughout the era, dazzling audiences.” The films starring Sellers as Inspector Jacques Clouseau and directed by Blake Edwards particularly showcased his comedic brilliance.

Early American Elections (On Campus and On Zoom)
ICL Room 624 and on ZoomDescriptions: Popular Vote. Electoral College. Election Fraud! Stolen Election! -- These are all terms that we have heard frequently over the past few years. But they are by no means unique to our time. Join us as we step back in our history to explore the circumstances surrounding several Early American Elections in which all these terms were used, and discover that “We are not alone.”

Mysteries and Disasters (On Campus)
ICL Room 624Institute for Continued Learning Roosevelt1400 N. Roosevelt BlvdSchaumburg, IL 60173-43771-224-523-6497Description: Over time we have experienced many disasters. They may have been caused by natural circumstances, accidents, negligence or purposeful actions. Studying history we know that disasters have periodically occurred. Have we learned from these experiences how to avoid or mitigate them in the future? We might think that our questions have been answered but yet many mysteries remain. Perhaps by reaching back in history we can gain some wisdom and discover methods to avert future incidents.
