Tif in University students have created a large-scale drawing using unusual elements in place of the traditional pencil and paper. Student enrolled in Art120 have completed a class project on the irst loor walls of Hayes Center for The Arts using blue painter’s tape to create the illusion of volume, space, patterns and texture. “I wanted them to envision what the forms and shapes would look like and how the medium ‘Tape’ would affect the execution,” says Joe Van Kerkhove, Assistant Professor of Art. The students were challenged to use a variety of tape widths and focus on the negative spaces, teaching the lesson that negative spaces are as important as the positive. Once the students began working on their original vision they were forced to respond to the composition and
the limitations of the medium. During this project the students faced several challenges that came along with collaboration, but made sure the entire design came together cohesively.
The student project is available for viewing through the end of February in Hayes Center for The Arts between the hours of 8am10pm.

TU’s Diane Kidd Gallery to Host “Piano Man” What can an artist do with an old piano? In the hands of the right artist, it can live a new life as a mythical “Piano Man.” Tif in University’s Diane Kidd Gallery will host “Piano Man,” featuring Artist Ken Arthur at its next gallery exhibition. A special opening reception will take place on Wednesday, February 24, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. The exhibition will also feature several members of the Tifin Art Guild and students from Ontario High School. The reception will take place at the gallery, located inside the Hayes Center for the Arts on TU’s campus. The reception is free and the public is encouraged to attend. Ken Arthur’s artworks are assemblages with found objects focusing on elements from pianos. “Throughout the community I hunt and gather various pieces for my creations,” Arthur said. “I receive calls telling me about an attic, basement, or outbuilding that someone is clearing out asking me if I would care to salvage the contents. One such telephone call was for a destroyed baby grand piano. As I removed the pieces from the porch, I saw in them a torso, a head, arms and legs. The Piano Man was born.”

Faculty News Collins & Kleinoeder TU education faculty Dr. Teresa Collins and Mr. John Kleinoeder, TU’s Director of Instructional and Learning Technologies, recently presented an interactive session at the Ohio Educational Technology Conference held at the Greater Columbus Convention Center 9-11 February 2016. The theme of the conference, “Better Teaching Through Technology,” attracted over 4,000 participants who gathered to explore the cutting edge of P-20 learning and innovation. Dr. Collins, an early technology adapter, and Mr. Kleinoeder presented, “Formative Assessment: On the Fly & In the Clouds” to an enthusiastic audience of over 300 educators. Their presentation explored quick and easy, fun apps that teachers and students can use to check for understanding during lessons, so teachers can adjust their teaching on the spot. Participants in this “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) session used cell phones and tablets to exchange information in such online platforms as Today’s Meet, Socrative, Poll Every-
where,Show of Hands, and Kahoot! among others. Collins and Kleinoeder also discussed how various learning management systems, such as Moodle, Google Drive, and Quia, can be quickly used to measure understanding through short quizzes and online gaming. The Ohio Educational Technology Conference (OETC) is a state af iliate of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), both professional organizations that support the use of information technology to aid in teaching and learning.
Young & Piraino Jennifer Young and Pete Piraino just inished co-teaching a unit on forensic linguistics in Professor Piraino's Senior Seminar in Criminal Justice. The project was designed to teach English and critical thinking skills within a context that will further the students' professional knowledge and bene it them in their future careers. Dr. Young will be presenting a paper about the project at the national College English Association Conference in Denver, Colorado, this spring.

TU Students Use Photography to Foster Intergenerational Understanding Sometimes young people ind it dif icult to communicate with the elderly. Their life experiences simply are not the same, and sometimes younger people may be wary of confronting their own mortality when coming face-to-face with someone of an advanced age. Recently, 86 students in an introductory digital photography course at Tif in University engaged in a study to determine if using interviews and visual arts might help reduce the anxiety and build empathy when interacting with senior citizens from Autumnwood and Elmwood nursing homes. The article, “Using Photography to Foster Intergenerational Understanding,” was published in the “Journal of Visual Literacy.” According to Lee Fearnside, Associate Professor of Art, “The study took place in ive introductory digital photography classes over four semesters. After the interviews at the nursing homes, the students were asked to visually translate someone else’s experience, namely, those of the senior citizens. They talked with residents about their life experiences, and then the students created photographs about what they heard.” Associate Professor of Psychology and Counseling Matt Bereza and TU alum Gabe McConn assisted in writing the article. Photos of students Chen Li and Scott Williams, who participated in the project, were featured. For some students the project did, indeed, generate empathy. Several students said the project made them think about the elderly members of their family.
One student said that this project made her think about nursing homes and the living conditions there in ways she never had before. Another said the experience made him want to visit his older relatives more frequently. One international student commented on the different treatment of the elderly in his culture, and remarked that there was a greater tradition of multigenerational households there.

GOOD MORNING WORLD—New Time, New Venue Tammy Jo Johnson was charged with murder at age 12 when her failed suicide attempt resulted in the death of her mother. Tif in University’s next Good Morning World Breakfast lecture will feature a presentation by Johnson, "From the Ground Up: Rebuilding Your Life to Relect Your Strength," on Thursday, March 24, on campus in the Gillmor Student Center Gymnasium. Johnson is a motivational speaker, author, and changing future outcomes expert. Her presentation will cover the months leading up to her attempted suicide and mother's death. She will show you how to begin the process of overcoming adversity
so you can master self-con idence starting from the inside out and move forward to becoming the leader you were meant to be. Tammy Jo’s Story Tammy Jo was born in Akron Ohio. Unfortunately, she did not grow up there. Instead, she was sentenced to juvenile life in an all-girl facility in Delaware, Ohio. As a child Tammy Jo was also a victim of bullying, sexual molestation and sexual assault from the time she was a small child through her adolescence. She suffered from severe depression, nightmare disorder and anxiety disorder. Her attempted suicide so that her family would hear her cry for help went wrong when she accidental-
ly shot and killed her mother instead. She was 12 years old. When Tammy Jo was released from the juvenile facility where she was sentenced to juvenile life, she had no idea how to survive, much less, live successfully as an adult. After being very unsure of herself as a woman and living the party life for years something tapped her on the shoulder and called her to BE more. DO more. Despite being abused, bullied and thrown into the system, she later, in her adult life, graduated from a modeling school where she was extensively trained in all aspects of Commercial, Print and Promotional Modeling and self-con idence. This training landed
her modeling opportunities with Revlon, Gillette Venus, Axe, Hasbro, Marlboro, José Cuervo and many more. She has also had the opportunity to be a part of two major motion pictures and a wellknown TV court show. The format is simple: breakfast is served buffet style at 8:30 a.m., the speaker will present at 9:00 a.m. The cost is $12.00. For reservation, call Lori Bentz, Tif in University, 419.448.3282 or email bentzl@tif in.edu .

Track and Field The Tif in University Track and Field Teams competed in one inal meet before hosting the GLIAC Championships next weekend. The story of the meet was a familiar theme - another shattered school record for Coy Blair. Blair obliterated his own school record with a toss of 63' 0", an automatic bid for the NCAA national meet. The Dragons added some other provisional quali iers for the NCAA Tournament. Joel Johnson inished 4th in the 400 Meter with a time of 48.21, while Davis Bowers inished 4th in the pole vault with a height of 15'7".

The Dragons will host the GLIAC Championships next weekend in hopes of capturing the Track and Field Championships and will continue their preparation for the national meet with several athletes earning automatic and provisional bids. Women's Lacrosse Tif in University (0-1) led for most of the contest and opened strong, but Seton Hill inished stronger, slipping past the Dragons 10-9 in the season opener for both teams. TU opened the game with a 4-0 lead and was ahead 6-2 before giving up 2
goals in the inal 1:43 of the irst half, setting an ominous tone for the second half. With the Dragons ahead 7-4, Seton Hill tallied 3 straight goals to tie the score 7-7 at the 21:19 mark. After Emily Roussel tallied her ifth goal of the day to give TU an 8 -7 lead, SHU exploded for 3 more consecutive goals to take a 10-8 lead with 4:30 to play. Tif in did manage to get a free position goal by Morgan Sherley with 1:00 left, but it was the only shot TU got off in the inal 7:27 of the game, as SHU clamped down for the win. Overall Seton Hill outshot TU 30-22 and forced 22 TU turnovers. They also held a 21-13 ground ball advantage. Roussel led the way with 5 goals, followed by Gina Abulone's goal and 5 assists.

Sports News continued for Lincoln Memorial en route to a 13-3 loss. After Alex Hartley's double and two-run home run handed the Dragons a 3-0 lead early, things looked to be going TU's way. But in the ifth inning it all turned. With two outs, LMU struck out but reached irst on a wild pitch. This was followed by a TU error and a walk to load the bases, which the Railsplitters promptly unloaded with a grand slam to score four unearned runs and take the lead. Over the ifth and sixth innings, LMU totaled 8 runs on the board. They then tacked on 5 more runs in the 8th inning to put the game away. Luke Fraley took the loss in relief, pitching 1 inning and allowing 8 runs (4 earned) with 3 walks. Hartley had a double and home run for 3 RBIs, while Garrett Vernau and Kurt Barbeau also had 2 hits each. Alec McCurry had a double and Isaac Perry added a triple. Women's Tennis The Tif in University Women's Tennis team took on #38 ranked Indiana University of Pennsylvania for their irst match back in a matchup of juggernauts with the Dragons coming in
ranked #50 in the nation. The Dragons fought hard, but ultimately fell 5-4 in a match decided by several 3 set matches. The Dragons came out with much of what they have seen during the regular season with a big win at 1st doubles but dropping two close matches at 2nd and 3rd doubles. The usual winning duo of Nelhage/Kaye took care of business in a close 9-8 (2) decision that gave the Dragons their only doubles point of the , pmatch. 2nd doubles saw the Dragons' pair of Mazzola/ Musina drop a close 5-8 decision to IUP's Wood/ Gonzalez. 3rd doubles was much the same as Avram/Harpaintner fell 4 -8. After doubles play the Dragons were down 1-2. They knew strong singles play would be their opportunity to come back in the match and fell just short of a tremendous comeback. 1st Singles saw the usual steady Nelhage win a close 7-6 (4), 6-4 decision over IUP's Pertercakova. Nelhage, playing ill, saved several break points en route to a comeback which saw her at one point down 2-5 love-40 to come back and take the match in straight sets.
2nd singles action for the Dragons was veteran and Senior Valentina Mazzola who lost in heartbreak fashion, taking the irst set 6-4 but dropping the inal two sets 1-6, 3-6. 3rd singles saw TU's Musina cruise to another straight set victory as she continued where she left off in the fall with a 6-0, 6 -4 victory. Musina, a former GLIAC player of the week, was able to dominate in usual fashion to give the Dragons hope with a singles point. A wild one at 4th singles went in the Dragons' favor as TU's Harpaintner won the irst set 6-0 before dropping the second set 1-6. The third set became the decider and after being down 2-5 love – 40 Harpaintner clawed her way back to a third set 7-5 victory over IUP's Menes. At 5th singles Avram dropped a 0-6, 2-6 decision to IUP's von Agris. 6th singles is often considered one of the toughest spots to play due to the many times it can be a match decider and another close match that just didn't bounce the Dragons' way was the decider. TU's Kaye lost a heartbreaking 3 setter that saw her ight her way back from a 0-6 irst set loss to win the second
set. Kaye ran out of gas in the 3rd set, losing 1-6 and sealing the deal for a Crimson Hawk victory. This was TU's inal match until their spring break road trip down to Hilton Head, South Carolina where they will have a slew of matches to prepare them for their hopeful regional birth later this season. Men's Basketball Tif in University (11-17, 7-14 GLIAC) opened strong and battled in a close contest with Ashland (23-4, 17-4) but could not convert twice in the closing seconds, falling to the Eagles 7976 on Senior Day. Tif in opened the game on a 19-9 run but Ashland bounced back on a 23-15 run to close out the half. The Dragons held a slim 34-32 edge entering the intermission. The Eagles turned up their game in the inal 20 minutes, shooting 66 percent in the second half, while the Dragons used the offensive glass (12-3 on offensive rebounds) to keep it close. After Tony Kynard hit two free throws with 21 seconds remaining to cut the de icit to 77-76, TU appeared to get a shot for a last second shot when the Eagles were called for

Sports News continued a moving screen on the inbounds play, turning the ball over to the Dragons. But with 11 seconds left, Kynard tried to kick the ball to the wing for a shot and turned it back over to the Eagles. Following two AU free throws, the Dragons again had a shot to tie the game, but Juwan Johnson's jumper missed the mark and the Eagles escaped with the win. Korab Imami had a superb game on Senior Day, totaling 21 points to lead the team. Johnson had 15 points with 6 rebounds, while Kynard had 11 points and 6 rebounds, and Chrisean Marsden had 10 points. Alex Brown added 9 points while Jonathan Sutherlin also had 8 points and 5 rebounds. Ashland shot 57 percent in the game while TU hit at a 40 percent clip. TU had the edge in rebounds 33-29. Women's Basketball Tif in University (7-19, 516 GLIAC) knew it would have its hands full with 5th-ranked Ashland coming to the Gillmor Center, and the Eagles did not disappoint their travelling fans, jumping out to a 17-4 lead to start the game and never looking back en route to a 85-69 victory.
The Eagles (26-1, 20-1 GLIAC) shot the lights out in the opening half, shooting 68 percent while holding the Dragons to 35 percent. They built a 29-13 lead after one quarter and didn't cool off much in the second quarter, outscoring TU 23-13 to lead 52-26 at the break. TU did outscore the Eagles 20-14 in the third quarter but could get no closer than 16 points in the second half.
