FACULTY/ STAFF NEWS Stephanie Hatton, an adjunct professor in the School of Criminal Justice and Social Sciences, and students in her Juvenile Justice Systems class participated in a mock trial Nov. 7.

Tiffin University faculty member Dr. Lisa Kahle-Piasecki presented her research on Mentoring in Fortune 1000 corporations at the 2013 Mentoring Conference organized by The Mentor Institute at the University of New Mexico. The annual conference attracts researchers from some of the top research institutions in the country.

In the paper, “Best Practices in a Changing Mentoring Environment” Kahle-Piasecki and co-author, Sheila Doles, from the University of Toledo, discussed the similarities and differences the authors found in their individual research those in Fortune 1000 companies and those in higher education. Additionally, best practices to outline types of mentoring programs and methods used in assessment and evaluation were examined.

Kahle-Piasecki has been an active researcher in mentoring for many years. In addition to her expertise in Fortune 1000 corporations and executive mentoring, she has researched and worked with mentors and mentees in higher education, preservice teachers, inner-city youth, and firstgeneration college students.

The paper she presented was based on her dissertation, “Mentoring: What Organizations Need to Know to Improve Performance in the 21st Century Workplace”, in which she surveyed human resource directors in Fortune 1000 companies. Kahle-Piasecki is interested in the role of technology in mentoring, specifically; e-mentoring, as well as global mentoring or mentoring that crosses geographic boundaries. She and Doles are both passionate about the power of mentoring and have collaborated on mentoring for the past five years while working together in The Mentoring Collaborative, a program run by Doles in which Kahle-Piasecki has been a mentor and served as a member of the advisory council.

Kahle-Piasecki, Assistant Professor of Management & Information Systems, is Program Chair for Undergraduate Management & Marketing at TU

Juvenile and Probate Court Judge Jay Meyer led the mock trial, which was in the Tiffin Municipal Court courtroom, for the students.

Other participants were Jim Jarrett, a Tiffin University graduate who serves as the chief of probation; Beth Brown, chief deputy clerk for juveniles; Ken Clason, a magistrate; and Zachary Fowler, a Tiffin University graduate who serves as the assistant county prosecutor.

Students heard that juvenile court handles juvenile criminal and traffic cases, abuse and neglect cases, and child support and custody cases. Meyer told them that juveniles don't have the right to a jury trial, and he decides juveniles' fates. During the mock trial, the case the students learned about involved an allegation of domestic violence. The incident in the mock trial, which involved a teenager pushing his mother, occurred at 123 Frost Parkway on Oct. 4.

Fowler, the defendant's attorney, said Brown – the mother in the mock trial – told her son he could not leave because of bad grades, but the teenager decided it was time to go to a football game. A heated argument ensued.

The mock trial involved calling several witnesses, including a police officer who responded to the incident, the teenager's probation officer, the teenager and his mother.

They took the witness stand to testify during the mock trial.

“He has been (suspended) in the past,” Jarrett said of the teenager.

At the conclusion of the trial, Meyer took a poll of the students, who served as the judges in the case. The results were 15 found the teenager guilty, while seven did not.
