Bread Elegant – TU Professors Short Film Selected for Screening by Film Kitchen in March
Dr. Matt Bereza, Associate Professor of Psychology, and Lee Fearnside, Associate Professor of Art at Tif in University produced a short ilm, “Bread Elegant,” which screened at the Collaboration and Innovation Across the Food System Conference in June 2014.

Film Kitchen is a program of Pittsburgh Filmmakers and is one of the oldest, continually running micro-cinemas in the U.S. https://www.facebook.com/FilmKitchen “Bread Elegant” forces one to think about the micro and macro agricultural forces at play and how they impact our economy and our health. The ilm demonstrates how to build a small brick oven with ire using found objects and highlights how art and psychology intersect in the food systems world, and how local foods positively affect thought and behavior. Bereza and Fearnside taught together in the honors program using food and the food system as the connection between their art and psychology classes. For more information on the ilm and/or research contact Dr. Bereza at berezam@tif in.edu or Professor Fearnside at fearnsidel@tif in.edu.

FINANCIAL AID FAFSA Dependency Status: Am I an independent student? It’s FAFSA time again! Students who are looking to use aid for next year can complete their 20152016 FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Two of the most common questions that the inancial aid of ice receives when a student completes the FAFSA are “How can I be an independent student? “and “Am I an independent student now?” The fact is that dependency status is not something that a student can choose-you either are or aren’t considered a dependent student for purposes of federal inancial aid based on the answers to the questions under the dependency section of the FAFSA. A student is a dependent student for federal inancial aid purposes unless one or more of the following conditions is met: 1. For the 2015-2016 school year, the student was born before January 1, 1992 2. The student is married 3. The student has a child or children that they support more than 51% 4. The student has dependents (other than child or spouse) that they support more than 51% and also live with the student 5. The student is enrolled as a graduate or professional student (masters or doctoral degree) 6. The student is a quali ied veteran of the U.S. military, or currently serving active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces for purposes other than training 7. The student is an orphan (both parents deceased) or ward of the court or in foster care at any time after turning age 13, or was a ward of the court until age 18 8. The student is/was in legal guardianship 9. The student is/was an emancipated minor 10. The student was an unaccompanied youth who was homeless or at risk of being homeless on or after July 1, 2014 11. The student has special and unusual extenuating circumstances that can be proven to the inancial aid of ice from independent third party documentation. (Note: Exceptions are very rarely granted and only in extreme cases.) Many students believe that they should be able to declare independent status for many reasons such as living on their own, iling their own taxes, or receiving no support from their parents, however, these situations do not qualify a student for independent status. The regulations governing dependency status are very strict with regard to determining dependency status. If a parent refuses to help with the FAFSA, the only aid that a student may qualify for is the dependent student amount of the unsubsidized direct loan. 7

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 campus 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 members 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 employee 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 student 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 designated 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 classes that are taught on a community college campus will be cancelled if the community college cancels its classes.
