TU Student to Host Family and Friends Bene it Concert Tif in University Senior Arts Administration student David Driskill will be the host of a Family and Friends Bene it Concert to raise funds for two different non‐ pro it organizations on April 11 at 7:30 p.m. in Osceola Theatre located in the Gillmor Student Center. The concert will bene it Feeding America and BeYOUti‐ ful Girls. Feeding America is a nationwide network of 58,000 charitable food programs that provide service to 46.5 million people in across the United States, includ‐ ing 12 million children and 7 million seniors. “As an Arts Administration major, I have to do a senior project and I wanted to do something that makes peo‐ ple feel great and also gives back,” Driskill said. BeYOUtiful Girls is an up and coming organization that seeks to cultivate the lives of young women. The organi‐
zation focuses on discovering purpose as well as build‐ ing important relationships that can be bene icial for one’s social life and career by providing an array of meetings, classes and workshops that will enhance the knowledge of girls between the ages of 5 and 25. “I chose BeYOUtiful Girls because I was raised by my mother and sister. I’ve seen how hard it is for women to struggle. Seeing my mother and sister grow into these strong, beautiful women even in hard times is why I chose BeYOUtiful Girls,” he said. The concert will feature singing and dancing performed by the family and friends of David Driskill, including TU students and others from Driskill’s hometown of Cin‐ cinnati. Tickets will be $5 with all proceeds to go to the two charitable organizations. For more information, contact David Driskill at driskilldj@tif in.edu.
TU Student Presents at Seventh Annual Undergraduate and Graduate Conference on Women and Gender Junior English Education student Nicole Beard, presented a paper at the Seventh Annual Undergraduate and Graduate Conference on Women and Gender at The University of Akron March 6‐7th, 2015. The Conference was sponsored by the Committee for Research on Women/Gender (CROW) at The University of Akron, and showcased graduate and undergraduate students’ original research in all ields of women’s and/ or gender studies. The theme was, “Standing at the Crossroads: The Multiple Intersections of Self and Sys‐ tems.” 9
Her presentation was: "Strong Women and Stereotypes: The Powerful Villainess in Fairy Tales". Its content was about how, at a time in history when women are mak‐ ing great strides towards gender equality in every area; children’s stories with worn‐out narratives are still cre‐ ating a negative impact on the way that society views women in powerful positions. By looking at the evil strong woman in fairy tale literature, we can gain a deeper understanding of why powerful females are as‐ sociated with manipulative or cunning qualities. “I hoped that people would realize that we need to pro‐ vide a new role model for young women and girls,” said Beard. “I want people to see that there can be a realistic role model for females who encourages women to em‐ brace all facets of themselves.”
Tools do not do work all by themselves. Whether it is a simple hand tool or a complex computer system, the users of the tool have to have the knowledge and skills to use it correctly, for the purpose it was designed, and to get work done. If you invest in the tool, you have to invest in the time and resources necessary to master that tool to use it effectively. This is the reason the Uni‐ versity decided last year to embark on a major project to retrain on its administrative software tools/systems and to review the processes these tools/systems are intended to support. This project took on the name of “Health Check” because its purpose was to look at the health of our business processes and how well the soft‐ ware tools were being used to support that health. Over the last year, the Health Check project has in‐ volved administrative of ice personnel working with outside consultants to review and revise, where appro‐ priate, the University’s business processes and software systems. Areas covered included in the Health Check were Admissions, Finance, Financial Aid, Academic Rec‐ ords, and Human Resources. This work started in Feb‐ ruary 2014, and the last scheduled consultant visit was a couple of weeks ago in March. The project has consisted of week‐long sessions with both on campus and remote consultants to model and document existing processes. These type of sessions are generally referred to as Business Process Modeling, or BPM for short. After these sessions, consultants cre‐ ated documentation and made recommendations on how processes could be improved. These recommenda‐
tions were based on industry best practices and the ca‐ pabilities of existing systems. Recommendations in‐ cluded changes to the process itself and additional ways the computer system could be used to better automate the process. Each of ice has reviewed these recommen‐ dations and has implemented, or are working on imple‐ menting, the recommendations that are feasible for the University at this time. There were approximately eight of these BPM sessions. In addition to these BPM sessions, consultants were brought in to review and retrain on the functionality of the existing administrative systems, PowerCampus, PowerFAIDS, and Great Plains. With the information gathered in the BPM sessions, consultants were able to focus the training in on areas where improvements could be made or where knowledge was lacking. Many of the recommendations were setup in the systems dur‐ ing this training so actual functionality could be ob‐ served and tested. A few sessions focused on the core technology of the systems themselves to address the ongoing upgrading and management requirements of the systems. Training on reporting occurred to help improve the ability to build meaningful and accurate reports from the various systems. There were approxi‐ mately 13 of these training sessions covering all the various areas. The Health Check Project has been a major commitment by the University to improve its processes through the better utilization of systems and tools. Already, signi i‐ cant time savings have been realized from the knowledge gain and through the process changes that were made because of this new knowledge. Armed with this knowledge, additional improvements are in the planning and implementation stages. The bene its from the Health Check Project will be ongoing as the person‐ nel using the University’s administrative systems/tools have a higher level of skills on how to use the systems and tools most effectively to get the work done.

FINANCIAL AID NEWS (cont.) EXIT COUNSELING
Exit counseling is required for any student who borrowed federal student loans. It must be completed at studentloans.gov when you graduate, leave school, or drop below half‐time enrollment. Exit counseling educates students on their rights and duties as a borrower and provides useful information that will be needed as you prepare to enter repayment on your loans. It will cover topics such as your loan re‐ payment schedule, obligations, and rights to deferment and/or cancellation. In or‐ der to complete exit counseling you will need your federal pin which can be located at pin.ed.gov, the name, address, e‐mail address, and telephone number for your closest living relative, two references who live in the U.S., and current or expected employer (if known). Completing exit counseling does not mean that you cannot enroll in school again in the future, transfer to a different school, or continue to re‐ ceive inancial aid but failure to complete exit counseling will result in a hold being placed on your account which will affect your ability to receive your diploma and transcript. So, if you are graduating, transferring, or dropping below half time en‐ rollment status make sure to go to www.studentloans.gov and complete your exit counseling as soon as possible!
