Three TU Professors Published

Carolina Academic Press recently published “Ohio's Criminal Justice System” by Dr. Joshua Hill, Kevin Cashen, Dr. Robert Orr, Nancy Marion, and Kendra Kec.

“Ohio’s Criminal Justice System” is an explanation of the basics of the criminal justice system in Ohio, as well as its interaction at several points with the federal criminal justice system. In addition, the book provides a contextual presentation of the operation of criminal justice in general.

Lead author and TU Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice and Security Studies Dr. Hill said, “We hope the book is useful to those who are interested in criminal justice in the state of Ohio. Taking a state level approach is helpful to those who study Criminal Justice, because the vast majority of instances of contact for people with the criminal justice system happen at local and state levels. That is also where most people start their law enforcement careers.”

Ideal for use in undergraduate classrooms, “Ohio’s Criminal Justice System” links trends of crime in Ohio to national trends, showing the operations of the police, courts and corrections agencies within Ohio, and addressing state-speci ic justice elements like drug and veteran’s courts. In addition to the coverage of the major elements of Ohio’s justice system, the book addresses the juvenile courts in Ohio as well as

The Tif in University Alumni Achievement and Young Alumni Achievement awards were presented on Sunday, April 12, at TU’s annual Academic Honors Ceremony. The Alumni Achievement Awards were added to the Academic Honors Ceremony to show students examples of successful graduates.

The Alumni Achievement Award is presented to honor outstanding alums for their achievements, leadership and contributions to their profession, community, and their alma mater.

This year’s recipient, Steven Grubbs, Class of 2000, was hired by the Westerville Police Department after graduation. He completed the Ohio Highway Patrol Academy and began working as a patrol of icer in Westerville, Ohio. In 2003, he started work as a Field Training Of icer and to date has helped train 33 full-time Westerville of icers. Steve was also instrumental in overhauling the Field Training process, which included him helping to build various Scenario Days as a method of providing hands-on experience to new of icers. To date, Of icer Grubbs has been nominated for Of icer of the Year in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2008, and 2012.

The Young Alumni Achievement Award is presented to honor the achievements of young alums who are outstanding leaders in their profession and community, bringing honor to Tif in University, and demonstrating the promise of further distinction.

This year’s recipient, Sara Dunn, Class of 2010, has started two companies— Dunn Beverage International and 11Web. Dunn Beverage imported wine from France and Australia and grew to nine distributors in six states. Dunn Beverage closed in 2012, but it was an experience that Sara is proud of, often referring to it as her real-world MBA. 11Web is a full service marketing agency that has served over 50 clients. Sara has found her passion in helping businesses market their goods and services and ultimately reach their goals.

“The Alumni Achievement Awards are an opportunity for us to show pride and commitment as well as showcase our outstanding alumni,” said Vickie Galaska, TU’s Director of Alumni Affairs. “It was an honor to present the alumni awards to Steven and Sara. They are both very accomplished in their respective ields and positive contributors to their communities.”

FINANCIAL AID What is verifica on? Was I selected?

What do I need to do?

Verifica on is the process of checking the accuracy of the informa on provided when applying for federal student aid from the Department of Educa on. In the verifica on process, the Financial Aid Office compares informa on reported on the FAFSA applica on with your federal tax returns and other requested docu‐ menta on. A student can be selected for verifica on through a random process established by the Depart‐ ment of Educa on (30 percent of applicants are rou‐ nely selected for verifica on), by the Department of Educa on if there appears to be inconsistent or con‐ flic ng informa on reported on the FAFSA, by the school if there appears to be conflic ng informa on, if the student requests a Special Circumstances Re‐ view.

You will know if you were selected for verifica on if a er you have filled out your FAFSA, your Student Aid Report (SAR)states that you have been selected. Fur‐ ther, you can check the “required documents” tab at h ps://finaid. ffin.edu‐if verifica on is listed then you were selected. Failure to complete the verifica‐ on process can result in not being eligible to receive federal financial aid. If the student and parent(s) filed taxes and used the IRS data retrieval tool on the FAF‐ SA and did not change the imported data, then you will not need to request a tax transcript, so, using this tool is highly recommended.

If you were selected for verifica on you must:  Complete all sec ons of the correct Verifica on Worksheet (click on the document under the re‐

quired documents tab of your financial aid ac‐ count to open the worksheet). You must print and sign the document‐an electronic signature is not acceptable.  Need Parent’s 2014 federal tax return transcript, unless the IRS Data Retrieval was used when com‐ ple ng the FAFSA. If the parent was unemployed and had no income earned from work in 2014 the parent must submit a “Verifica on of Nonfiling”, which must be requested on the IRS website.  Need Student’s 2014 federal tax return transcript, if filed. If the student was unemployed and had no income earned from work in 2014 the student must submit a “Verifica on of Nonfiling”, unless the student is a dependent student.

Items can be dropped off, sent by mail, faxed to 419‐443‐5025, or emailed finaid@ ffin.edu to the Tiffin University Financial Aid Office *Faxed or copied documents are acceptable. * *To obtain a copy of your tax return transcript or Ver‐ ifica on of Nonfiling please go to www.irs.gov Once all of the documents are received by the finan‐ cial aid office, the informa on will be reviewed. If changes or addi onal informa on is needed to com‐ plete the verifica on process, the student will be emailed.

If you have ques ons about filling out one of the Veri‐ fica on Worksheets, please contact our Financial Aid Office.*Please note: Based on the results of verifica‐ on your financial aid award may change. If your fi‐ nancial aid award changes you will be sent a revised award le er. *Verifica on of Non‐filing will not be available un l a er June 15th!
