Network support keeps the infrastructure going that allows all the devices on the University’s network to talk to each other and to get out to the Internet. Overall, 85 switch devices across campus are used and managed to direct traffic throughout the network.

Rules and configuration are built to control where each device can send and receive traffic from. Both wired and wireless connections to the network are supported. Network support also is responsible for adding telephones and making changes to telephones as requested.

TU TECH

Lastly, administrative applications support provides services to help keep the University administrative systems running and current. The majority of the services in this area are delivered under the guidance of the administrative offices using the software systems.

ITS works directly with the various offices to help setup and maintain these systems. Support for ongoing system operations include writing reports, building interfaces between systems, bulk data updates, and system backups. To effectively provide these services, staff must know the backend technical aspect of the software and be very familiar with the numerous business processes that the software is supporting.

Welcome to the TU TECH Dragon News column!

In this week’s column, we will review what services Information Technology Services is currently responsible for providing to the University. These services break down into 4 major areas:  PC/laptop support  Server support  Network support  Administrative applications support.

Let’s review each one of these areas in more detail.

PC/laptop support is all about managing the University PC’s and laptops in the classrooms, faculty/staff offices, and labs across campus. There are about 600 of these devices scatter across the University.

These devices get replaced approximately every 4 years, depending on budget. This requires an average of 150 PC’s/laptops a year to be purchased and swapped out to stay current. In addition to the hardware, the operating systems and software on all these devices are constantly being patched and updated to keep them secure and functioning. This support team also works to resolve problems and issues with PC’s and laptops as people report them through the Help Desk. During the semester, the team offers a “Fix It Friday” service where faculty, staff, and students can bring in their personal desktop or laptop for minor tune-up issues.

This is just an overview of the common services ITS provides. The actual delivery of a particular service can vary from a few minutes to many months depending on all the steps necessary to complete the service. Requests for some services occur many times a day. Requests for other services only occur once a year. Some services can be planned for, others are only delivered when an issue arises or a request is made. Overall, the delivery of these services requires knowledgeable resources that can quickly change focus to deliver the current priority service.

Help Desk We do have a 24x7 Help Desk that you can reach by telephone at: On Campus—3430 (option 2) Off Campus—(855) 664-1200

Server support focuses on keeping the backend serv- You can also reach our Help Desk on the web ers and data storage devices running reliably and se- at: curely. These servers run the University website and http://www.tiffin.edu/its/help all the other administrative software systems that are hosted on campus. These servers must be monitored Until next time… to make sure they are running and kept current on all patching. Any critical data on these servers and the other data storage devices is backed up regularly.

TU News Tif in University Maus and Scott Present at the 20th Annual Online Learning Consortium International Conference

Tif in University’s Michelle Maus, Program Chair/ Assistant Professor of Healthcare Administration, and Christine Scott, Director of Curriculum Design presented a poster session at the 20th An‐ nual Online Learning Consorti‐ um International Conference in Orlando, FL (October 28‐ 31). The session entitled “Partners in Learning: Breaking Down Silos through Collaboration and Shared Ownership” highlighted the collaborative approach recently undertaken to design and launch the new online Bachelor of Sci‐ ence of Healthcare Administration degree at Tif in University.

“Shared ownership has been emphasized through the encouragement of collaboration, dialogue, and systems thinking in order to create enhanced en‐ gagement throughout the degree design process,” Maus explained.

On October 14, 2014, Tif in University Romania held its 11th graduation ceremony at the Bucharest Novotel Hotel. Eighteen graduates of the EMBA program

received their diplomas from Dr. Teresa Shafer, Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs, who traveled to Roma‐ nia for the ceremony and to award one of the graduates, Fla‐ vius Porumb, with the MBA Excellence in Field of Study Award.

“This is the irst time the award has been given to one of our students in our overseas program,” Dr. Shafer said. “I could not be happier than to be here to share in this moment.”

Dr. Laura Mays, Director Emeritus, announced the names of the graduates, six of whom graduated with distinction. Mays then introduced Marius Mihailescu, Executive Director, to preside over the evening’s second special “event.” Mihailescu presented Dr. John Millar, who was in Romania to teach his inal classes for TU before his retirement, with a plaque hon‐ oring his service and dedication to the EMBA program.

“Over the years, Dr. Millar has been my boss, my colleague, my mentor and my teacher,” Mihailescu, who received his TU EMBA as part of Cohort 9, told the audience that included alumni, current students, families, and friends of the gradu‐ ates. “He will always remain my inspiration.”

Accepting his plaque, Dr. Millar said simply, “You have taught me so much more than I have ever taught you.” He took his “The presentation also explained the various tools, guidelines, instructional pedagogies, communication seat to a standing ovation from the crowd. strategies that were utilized to guide the course de‐ With the addition of the 18 students graduating as part of sign process, shared document repositories of key cohort 11, the Romanian EMBA program has nearly 250 documents, templates, kick‐off calls, and monthly alumni.

The National Society of Leadership and Success inducted 63 students on Sunday, November 23.

The NSLS is a national organization that inspires success‐oriented individuals to achieve their goals. Inductees must be nominated based on their grades and involvement on campus. They then go through several steps that end with in‐ duction. Tif in University’s chapter began in 2013, when 149 students were inducted.

This year, 63 more students joined the ranks in an induction ceremony, where TU Professor Pete Piraino spoke. Introduced by co‐advisor Nick Reinhard, the retired secret service agent under Clinton’s term talked about where dream‐ ing big led him in his career.

Piraino graduated college, and went into the po‐ lice force. He then made it into the Secret Ser‐ vice, where he eventually worked for President Clinton for ive years. Afterwards, he worked for the Toledo Field Of ice of the Secret Service.

He started teaching as an adjunct professor here at Tif in University during this time. After re‐ tirement, he became a full‐time professor.

“Success is not about money. It’s not about fame. It’s about happiness,” Piraino said as he began his speech. As the NSLS focuses on suc‐ cess and leadership, his topics were just that.

After talking on success, he moved onto leader‐ ship. He says that being a leader means: “knowing when to speak up, and when to shut up.”

Alana Ihsan, president, says she would like to see the chapter grow further, to unite members, and to interact and volunteer in the community.

With a fast‐growing organization, it is sure to do just that.
