HUNT SEAT EQUESTRIAN CONTRBUTES TO COOPER’S WISH!

After a successful day of horse showing at the University of Findlay on Saturday, Feb‐ ruary 8, the Tif in University Hunt Seat Equestrian Team stopped by Buffalo Wild Wings for a team dinner to make their con‐ tribution to the TU Cooper's Wish, a Make A Wish competition currently running be‐ tween the two rival schools (Tif in vs.

TU’s Black United Students to Host Mandela Tribute Service Tuesday, February 11 Free and Open to the Public

Tif in University’s Black United Students will cele‐ brate the 24th year since late South African Presi‐ dent Nelson Mandela was released from prison with a tribute service on February 11 in Osceola Theatre in Gillmor Student Center from 11 a.m. till 2 p.m.

“Nelson Mandela's story of transformation and tri‐ umph serves as a model that empowers individu‐ als and encourages acceptance,” said Kenya Phil‐ lips, Vice President and Treasurer of BUS. “The members of BUS decided to honor the legacy of the man who proved that the healing process begins with understanding and sacri ice.”

The tribute will begin with a candlelight service which will be followed by a guided discussion on restorative justice in South Africa by Dr. Matthew Bereza, Assistant Professor of Psychology and Counseling.

“BUS hopes that the tribute event will open a posi‐ tive dialogue about people of color through a glob‐ al perspective as opposed to a uni‐dimensional fo‐ cus that excludes our international brothers and sisters,” said Phillips.

The event is free and open to the public.

For more information contact Kenya Phillips, phil‐ lipsk@tif in.edu.

Dunkin' Donuts is on the way It is official, Dunkin Donuts has filed their permits to start the process of building on the property of the old BP Station on West Market Street.

The store will have a gas station, a convenience store, and a Dunkin Donuts.

Scheduled to open this summer!

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 ex‐ pected to travel to the Tif in campus. Unless otherwise communicated by the President or the President’s design‐ ee, faculty members are expected to travel to the Tif in campus to teach their classes and staff members are ex‐ pected 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 report for work, the employee must inform his or her super‐ visor 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 arrange‐ ments 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 assign‐ ments.

If a Level 3 snow emergency is in effect in Seneca County or the county where the employee lives and then is changed to Level 1 or 2 during the time when classes are scheduled and/or when University of ices are normally open, classes will be held and of ices will be open once the snow emergency has been changed to Level 1 or Level 2, unless otherwise communicated by the President or the President’s designee.

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 compensa‐ tory 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 Uni‐ versity 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 emer‐ gency 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.
