Become a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor: The Addic on Counseling Courses and Programs at TU
Dr. Appel will hold an informa on session about the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences’ Addic on Counseling Courses at Tiffin University on Wednesday, February 18 at 11 a.m. in Franks Hall room 122. Addic ons Counseling (CSL) courses are part of a concentra on area within The Undergraduate Psychology Degree, but also part of an Addic ons Counseling minor/or as a Graduate Cer ficate or as elec ves you can take. Dr. Appel will talk about the program as well as the process of prac ce licensure in Ohio (and elsewhere). The Addi on Counseling classes at TU meet educa onal require‐ ments toward the clinical license in Ohio (and elsewhere) as a li‐ censed chemical dependency counselor as well as an Interna onally Cer fied Drug and Alcohol Counselor. It is one of the few clinical li‐ censes you can receive with a bachelor’s degree (a clinical license is required to prac ce counseling and psychotherapy). Once a person has masters in a Criminal Jus ce or in a behavioral science—they can be licensed at a higher level (including supervisor). There is a shortage of licensed chemical dependency counselor in Ohio and na onwide, so this program provides a great opportunity and an addi onal skill and marke ng area (including for criminal jus ce majors) and adds to future career poten al. Please contact me (Dr. Jonathan Appel appelj@ ffin.edu or 419‐448 ‐3285) if you have further ques ons. The Addic ons Counseling mi‐ nor/Cer ficate is also open to any and all majors. 7

FINANCIAL AID NO EXCUSES: WHY NO STUDENT SHOULD EVER DEFAULT ON A FEDERAL STUDENT LOAN Federal student loans have many op ons available that can help you avoid student loan default. Below are rea‐ sons that students go into default. As you will see there is no reason that anyone should default on federal stu‐ dent loans. 1. I cannot afford my student loan payments. First, student loan interest will con nue to accrue as you have a balance so make sure that you have created a budget and are not spending money on wants versus needs. If you have created and are s cking to a budget and s ll cannot afford the payments then you need to contact your lender because there are op ons that can help! These op ons include:
entering a deferment or forbearance where your payments are suspended for a specified me period Choosing a graduated or extended payment plan Choosing and Income Driven Repayment Plan
For more informa on on deferment, forbearance, and repayment plans go to: h p://www. ffin.edu/finaid/ repayment 2. I knew that there were op ons to help me when I could not afford my payments but I did not know what to do. If you log onto your lender’s website you are able to print off the income driven repayment, deferment, or for‐ bearance applica on. Then fax the informa on in with any suppor ng documenta on described on the applica‐ on back to your lender. If you do not know who your lender is log into NSLDS.ed.gov to find out. 3. I did not know who my lender is or what I owe in student loans. Log into NSLDS.ed.gov and review your federal loan history. You will be provided with the name of your lender and can click on that name in order to get their contact informa on. 4. I can afford my payments and I know what I owe but I did not want to make payments. Beyond the fact that student loans accrue interest on a daily basis which will increase the debt owed there are several consequences of going into default, so, student loan repayment should be a priority unless you want to destroy your credit thus paying more if you even qualify for credit in the future but you will pay more on the loans themselves as you may lose your eligibility for deferment, forbearance, and income driven plans, you will be sent for collec ons, your wages can be garnished, and your tax refund can be withheld.

TU’s Slone Co‐edits The Attraction of Religion: TU Professor Dr. Jonathan Appel Publishes Chapter in A News Evolutionary Theory of Religion New Book on Family Counseling Dr. Jason Slone,, Associate Pro‐ fessor of Psychology and Humani‐ ties, co‐edited the book, The At‐ traction of Religion: A News Evolu‐ tionary Theory of Religion with Bloomsbury Academic Publishing in London, U.K. The book will be released on April 23, 2015. “The book explores a theory about the evolutionary origins and functions of religion that I’ve been formulating for a few years,” said Slone. “The key idea is that religion may have evolved as a way to manage, among else, adap‐ tive problems related to mating and reproduction.” Slone co‐edited essays with James Van Slyke from leading scholars in evolutionary psychology, anthropology, and religious studies that show how religion could correlate with evolu‐ tionary adaptations because such vows involve be‐ haviors that promote reproduction, relationships and social unity. The Attraction of Religion: A News Evolutionary The‐ ory of Religion is available for pre‐order athttp:// www.bloomsbury.com/us/the‐attraction‐of‐ religion‐9781472534620/ For more information contact Dr. Jason Slone at slonedj@tif in.edu or 419.448.5851.
TU faculty member Dr. Jonathan Appel has co‐authored a chapter in a new book entitled, Founda‐ tions of Couples, Marriage, and Family Counseling edited by Da‐ vid Capuzzi & Mark D. Stauffer and published by John Wiley & Sons. Appel and his wife Dr. Dohee Kim‐Appel co‐wrote the chapter, “Bowenian Family Systems Theory: Approach‐ es and Applications.” “The chapter explores the Bowen Family Systems Theo‐ ry, which is one of the most comprehensive explana‐ tions for the development of psychological problems from a systemic and multigenerational perspective, “Appel remarked. “Bowen theory and practice recog‐ nizes interplay between biological, genetic, psychologi‐ cal, and sociological factors in determining individual behavior.” In discussing Bowen’s Approach, the chapter notes the research done around the approach, which includes original research in the ield contributed by Appel and Kim‐Appel. “In this context, the chapter looks at the systems per‐ spective and its applied counseling and psychotherapy interventions, which offer a unique view that highlight important processes which could aid in the support for individuals and families across the life cycle,” Appel said. Dr. Appel is a Professor of Psychology and Criminal Jus‐ tice at Tif in University. His wife is an Associate Profes‐ sor at Ursuline College in Pepper Pike, Ohio. Dr. Appel and Dr. Kim‐Appel have previously published and presented on such research and practice issues in Family Systems Theory and practice in psychotherapy

ing the irst two weeks of classes. Parking registration tags must be placed in front of the rear view mirror with the Tif in University and permit number facing the towards the front of the vehicle so a current and valid parking permit is easily identi iable through the front windshield. The parking registration tag will allow the University to make sure that only students, staff and faculty are parking on campus. This will assist the Uni‐ versity to identify illegally parked cars. Parking Tickets and Sanctions Students are encouraged to park in the Tif in University lots or on the side streets adjacent to the campus. No one is permitted to park on the lawns or athletic ields of University property. Cars parked on lawns will be towed without notice.

Vehicle unlocks are available to University students and personnel at no charge upon completion of a signed waiver through the Of ice of the Director of Campus Safety. Once snow and ice does arrive, please take some extra time to clean off your completely. Clear off the entire car, not just a little peephole in the windshield. You need just as much, if not more, visibil‐ ity in poor conditions because you have to keep your eyes peeled for pedestrians, and every other type of vehicle on the road. Make sure every glass surface is clear and transparent by using a snowbrush and/or ice scraper. Your side‐view mirrors and all lights should be brushed and cleared as well.
Now, if you haven't been smart enough to do so already, clean the snow off the rest of the car. Why? Because the rest of the snow will either (A) slide off the roof and cover your windshield as you're slowing down; or (B) ly off onto someone else's windshield and causing him or her to smash into you. Clean your headlights. Even if you think they don't need it. It goes without saying, that if your headlights are cov‐ ered with six inches of sleet, you're not going to be see‐ ing much past your hood ornament, nor are oncoming drivers going to see you as well. Salt, sand and other wintry crud can dramatically impair the effectiveness of your car's headlights, even long after the last snow‐ storm. Whether you're planning on driving at night or not, take a moment before every winter trip to clean off your headlights. When that last remaining wooly mam‐ moth runs out into the middle of the road some night, you'll thank yourself. When driving in the snow, do everything slowly. Even with good coolant, snow tires, stability control, all ‐wheel drive, and the bag of Doritos in the trunk, keep
in mind that driving in snow, sleet, and ice is very treacherous. And even if you maintain control of your car, not everyone else will. So don't ever get lulled into a false sense of security. Do everything slowly and gen‐ tly. Remember, in the snow, the tires are always just barely grabbing the road. Accelerate slowly and gently, turn slowly and gently, and brake slowly and gently. To do this, you have to anticipate turns and stops. That means what? Going slowly and leaving and leaving plenty of distance between you and other cars. Rapid movements lead to skids and loss of control. If you're nervous about driving in winter, consider spending some time practicing. Go to an empty parking lot and try sending the car into a little skid on purpose. Slam on the brakes, then practice turning into the skid and see what happens ‐ and practice until you're com‐ fortable regaining control of the car. Doing this in a large, empty parking lot (preferably without light poles) allows you the luxury of skidding without ending up lat on your back, looking up into the eyes of seven different EMTs. The more comfortable you are main‐ taining control and regaining control, the better a win‐ ter driver you'll be. Oh, and one more thing. Make sure you have some basic supplies in your car in case you do get stuck. Invest in a substantial snowbrush and an ice scraper. It's good to have a shovel and a bag of sand to help with traction, and the aforementioned extra windshield washer luid. A blanket is a good idea ‐ just in case. If you have any winter clothes you don't wear anymore, especially an old pair of boots‐‐throw them in the trunk, too.

WINTER WEATHER POLICY
Tif in Campus If a Level 3 snow emergency is of icially declared for Seneca County by the Sheriff, classes on the Tif in cam‐ pus will be cancelled and University of ices will be closed. Unless otherwise communicated by the President or the President’s designee, classes will be held and University of ices will be open if a snow emergency is at Level 1 or Level 2 or in other cases of severe winter weather. If a snow emergency at Level 3 has been of icially declared for Seneca County, University employees are not expected to travel to the Tif in campus. Unless otherwise communicated by the President or the President’s designee, faculty members are expected to travel to the Tif in campus to teach their classes and staff mem‐ bers are expected to travel to the Tif in campus to report for work if a snow emergency for Seneca County is at Level 1 or 2 or in other cases of severe winter weather. If a Seneca County snow emergency is at Level 1 or 2 or in other cases of severe winter weather and an employee chooses not to report for work, the employ‐ ee must inform his or her supervisor as far in advance as possible and staff members must take annual leave. An exception to this policy will be made for any employee who lives in a county other than Seneca County that of icially has a Level 3 snow emergency when Seneca County’s snow emergency is at Level 1 or 2. In this case, the employee is not expected to travel to the Tif in campus, but must inform his or her supervisor as far in advance as possible. If an instructor is not able to travel to the Tif in Campus due to severe weather, the instructor must make arrangements for a colleague or others to take his/her class or may request permission from his or her School Dean as far in advance as possible to teach the class electronically using Moodle. Each Tif in Campus course has a Moodle shell that can be used to create discussion opportunities, send emails to students, and/ or communicate assignments. If classes are being held during severe winter weather, and a commuter stu‐ dent does not attend class due to health reasons or safety concerns, the instructor should allow the student an excused absence. If classes have been cancelled and University of ices have been closed, certain staff members may be desig‐ nated by the President or the President’s designee as “essential personnel” and may be asked to report for work. Any hourly staff member who is asked to work when the campus has been closed will be paid at a rate of time and one‐half per hour. Any exempt staff member who is asked to work when the campus is closed will be given compensatory time off at a later date. Locations Other Than the Tif in Campus For Tif in University classes that are taught at locations other than the Tif in campus, instructors and other University employees should follow the same procedure as described above. The director of each academic center will serve as the President’s designee to determine and communicate any exceptions when there is a snow emergency of Level 1 or 2 for the county where the academic center is located. Tif in University clas‐ ses that are taught on a community college campus will be cancelled if the community college cancels its classes.
