Former MBA Students Publish Article Four former Tiffin University Master of Business Administration students’ paper entitled “Social Media Marketing for Institutional Advancement: An Alumni and Advancement Development Case Study,” was presented at the 2014 Atlantic Marketing Association Conference and published in its proceedings on September 27 in Ashville, North Carolina. Lead student author, Anthony Dean said, “Our goal for the case study was to use current marketing strategies and tie it to something we all knew, higher education. As many institutions are looking towards new methods for institutional advancement, we knew it would be a relevant topic, especially for our alma mater. To get the paper accepted at a conference was just an added bonus!” Megan Borich, Andrew Dean, and Sheena Maravich also contributed to the research and authoring of the paper under the direction of Dr. Perry Haan as a part of their capstone course in Marketing. “It was nice that the students wrote such a high quality paper and that it was accepted at the conference,” Haan said. “Giving students a chance to become published is one of the goals of the class.” Haan co-authored the paper and chaired two sessions at the conference on branding and social media. Approximately 100 university faculty members from around the world attended. All four received their MBA on May 3, 2014.

TU Professor Reviews Book
TU Adjunct Professor Publishes Book
R. James Orr, Dean of the School of Criminal Justice and Social Sciences, reviewed the book Counterinsurgency Law: New Direction in Asymmetric Warfare edited by William A. Banks in the recent issue of International Review of the Red Cross.
Tiffin University adjunct professor Nancy Golinski published her first book titled, “Exercise Your Way to a Happy Hysterectomy (and Beyond),” in September with Price World Publishing. In her book, she discusses exercises and stress management techniques to do before, during and after the surgery.
“Counterinsurgency Law is divided into four sections, each consisting of essays written by scholars and practitioners recognized for their scholarship in the fields of IHL (international humanitarian law) and HRL (human rights law). Each section focuses on a different aspect of the question, but throughout all of the essays written by the different contributors, Counterinsurgency Law maintains a focus on the crux of the legal debate – whether and to what degree the legal paradigms of IHL and HRL converge in a climate of irregular or unconventional warfare and how that should affect the actions of the military personnel involved, from those in the field to those directing the operations,” Orr wrote.
Her personal experience with the surgery and recovery from it was the motivation behind the choice to write on the topic. “I hope that women who need a hysterectomy will be empowered by my book, become aware of the risks, and will take preventative measures to avoid them,” said Golinski. Golinski teaches courses in the social sciences field. She has a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in sociology from the University of Toledo. Her second master’s degree in exercise science is from Cleveland State University. She is also an ACE certified Personal Trainer. Golinski has been teaching at Tiffin for over 10 years.
He extolled the excellence of the book for those interested in the field of counterinsurgency or the laws that apply to it considering the recent engagements with Afghanistan and Iraq.
For more information contact Golinski at golinskin@tiffin.edu.
Dean Orr is a retired US Navy judge advocate specializing in international and operational law and served as deputy legal adviser to NATO Headquarters, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation from 2004 to 2008. The review can be found at: https://www.icrc.org/eng/ resources/internationalreview/

LEARN ABOUT
Tiffin University Students Help Doss High School as Community Service Project Two Tiffin University freshmen seminar classes, taught by Dr. Terry Collins and Dr. Phyllis Watts, are asking for donations of gently used adolescent and young adult books (AYA) for the Harry Doss High School, Louisville KY, as their fall 2014 community service project. This one-time gift of reading will help fill some gaps in the Doss High School Library’s holdings. The recent hit movie, The Giver, has generated a lot of interest among Doss readers, but school library media specialist Dr. Nancy Chiara stated that the library currently has only a single copy of Lois Lowery’s book on which the movie was based.
STUDY ABROAD
According to Chiara, the Doss Library desperately needs books that are required reading for the high school’s upper classmen. For example, Doss has limited copies of works such as Golding’s Lord of the Flies and To Kill a Mockingbird, books that are used in many English language arts classes. So few books don’t go very far when the enrollment of the 9-12th grade high school is over 1,500 students.
If you have ever thought about traveling overseas to study, you need to attend a presentation by some of your fellow TU students who have just returned from their semester (or Summer) abroad. You will learn first-hand about the experiences they had in places like Italy, Australia, Spain, and England.
Dr. Chiara added, “This is a fabulous opportunity for our students. Our library has limited funds, so we can't always purchase all books we would like. Also, many of our students do not have any books at home, and this book drive may allow us to offer free books to students. The book club is thrilled and our school couldn't be happier about being the recipient of donated books.”
Join us on Thursday, October 9, in Room 13 (Main) at 3:00. There is no obligation and it is FREE.
Either paperback or hard cover books will be accepted. A complete list of requested titles can be found at this link: http://tinyurl.com/kp7w8vv
Come on...you know you have thought about it. Here is the chance to take your first step toward what will be truly be a life-changing experience.
Donors can drop off books at the Tiffin University’s Pfeiffer Library, Heidelberg University’s Beeghly Library, and the Tiffin-Seneca Public Library from now until Friday, October 31. For more information contact Dr. Collins at (419) 448-3432 or Dr. Watts at (419) 4483303. Donations of money will not be accepted.

Dreams, Goals & Aspirations Topic of Tiffin University’s First Good Morning World Breakfast Lecture Series Thursday, October 16 Tiffin University’s first Good Morning World Breakfast lecture will take place on Thursday, October 16 when Motivational Speaker Anthony Ianni will present Dreams, Goals & Aspirations, at Camden Falls Reception & Conference Center beginning at 8:00 a.m. A buffet breakfast is served at 7:30 a.m. Anthony Ianni was diagnosed with autism at age 4 while living in Ohio. At that time, medical specialists informed his parents that he would never be academically successful and that he would most likely not graduate from high school or play sports. HE PROVED THEM WRONG! Anthony’s family relocated to East Lansing, Michigan when he was a young child. He graduated from Okemos High School and continued his education and graduated from Michigan State University in 2012 earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology. Anthony also received an athletic scholarship and played basketball for MSU. He was a member of the 2010-12 Big Ten Champion and Tournament Championship teams in addition to being part of the 2010 Final Four Team. He is the 2011 MSU Tim Bograkos Walk-On Award Winner and 2012 MSU Unsung Player Award Winner. He is also the first college athlete and college basketball player in NCAA history to have Autism. Although Anthony has many accomplishments in his life, it has required hard work and committed parents. Anthony endured significant bullying as a child. He has also met a number of challenges along the way and continues to face obstacles—but is determined to overcome them. Anthony is now a National Motivational Speaker delivering his message of hope, inspiration, and dedication. He is extremely personable and immediately draws young kids and adults to his message. In addition to motivational speeches, Anthony also speaks about anti-bullying based on his own experiences of being a victim himself. He delivers a strong message of being careful of what you say, do, as well as, if you see something, say something, and put a stop to it. All breakfast lectures take place at Camden Falls Reception Hall located at 2460 South State Route 231 in Tiffin. The format is simple: breakfast is served buffet style at 7:30 a.m., the speaker will present at 8:00 with conclusion by 8:50 a.m. The cost is $12.00. Reservation: Call Lori Bentz, Tiffin University, 419.448.3282 or email lbentz@tiffin.edu.
