The seminar includes a reception, keynote address, and a workshop facilitated by an expert from Alden & Associates, Inc., a consulting irm for higher education. “The Women’s Leadership Seminar will appeal to professional women who embrace life‐long learning and to female students who are ambitious and realize the importance of creating networks in their college community,” said Dr. Bonnie Tiell, Professor of Management and Co‐Coordinator of the Women’s Leadership Seminar. Employed by the U.S. Naval Executive Of ice for Aircraft Carriers, this year’s keynote speaker, Rylynn Stoner, is a Deputy Assistant Program Manager for the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON. She is a trained, certi ied Nuclear and Aero‐ space Engineer in Washington D.C. Stoner’s address entitled Leadership Ambition – Risks and Boundaries will complement the workshop topics with an emphasis on what one could encounter in pursuit of a leadership role. Workshop topics will focus on personal attributes of situational leadership and strategies to address the leadership ambition gap. Alfreeda Goff, last year’s keynote and the new Sr. Associate at Alden and Associates, will return to lead the workshop. She is one of the most highly respected women in inter‐collegiate athletics today. According to Tiell, several dozen male leaders will be in attendance including Coach Tony Branch, a retired volun‐ teer youth basketball coach featured in an episode of Secret Millionaire. “It is my hope that all attendees are motivated to return to their lives energized, engaged and ready to lead,” said Vickie Galaska, Director of Alumni Relations and Co‐Coordinator of the Women’s Leadership Seminar.

It will begin with an exhibit featuring creative responses to the work of Blake by regional artists Robert McFate (Ohio) and Emily Brandehoff (KY), as well as facsimile reproductions of Blake's works by Blake scholar and curator Dr. Michael Phillips, who has curated major Blake exhibits at the Ashmolean at Oxford, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Tate in London, and the Petite Palais in Paris. About William Blake William Blake (1757‐1827) was an English poet, printmaker, and painter whose work engages such topics as the American Revolutionary War, the French Revolution, slavery, psychology, mythology, politics, and religion. Blake continues to inspire artists in a variety of media. Lines of Blake’s poems or his visual works unexpectedly appear in ilms such as Mean Streets, Bladerunner, The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, Dead Man, and Red Dragon. He has been particularly in luential in music since the 1960s, inspiring the name for the band The Doors as well as several musical adaptations of his poems. More recent‐ ly, Martha Redbone’s 2012 album “The Garden of Love” sets twelve of Blake’s songs to blues and folk music. The exhibition is available for public viewing: March 19 through April 9, 2015.

TU Alum Publishes Restorative Justice Book

Tif in University Alumni Richard Walker’s book Inclusive VERITAS & Justice: Digging the Reparative Opportunity for Violent & Non‐Violent Offenders was publishes by Out‐ skirts Press in January. http://outskirtspress.com/bookstore/details/9781478744139 “I wrote the book in response to the many problems we face in the criminal justice system e.g., the exclusion of parolees in society, high prison costs, mass incarcera‐ tion, and the traditional paradigm in the court system that dictates perpetrators, es‐ pecially non‐violent drug offenders, should receive lengthy sentences,” Walker said. “The key conclusion is that we need to be more proactive and engage parolees and probationers in helping them to successfully reintegrate into society.” Brief book summary: Students, politicians, community leaders, and those citizens interested in restorative justice will recognize the importance of reducing criminal activity, lowering prison costs, and allowing probationers and parolees to successfully reintegrate into society. Inclusive VERITAS shows readers how restorative justice can increase efforts through appropriate and timely job training, educational programming, drug and mental health counseling, family support, and social engagement. Walker received his Master of Science in Criminal Justice from TU in 2009. “My TU education was phenomenal. All of my professors were extremely helpful and their expertise served as motivation for me to become more interested in writing a criminal justice book,” he said. About the Author: He is a criminologist currently teaching college courses in criminal justice, sociology, psychology, and addiction studies. He has researched on areas of restorative justice, corrections, and chemical dependency and has published work in Contemporary Justice Review and The Weekly News. He is a Pennsylvania state certi ied addictions counselor and currently resides in North‐ ern New Jersey.

The College English Association is, according to its mission statement, "a vibrant, growing professional organization of scholar‐teachers who re‐ gard teaching college students, undergraduate and graduate, as the proper focus of the profession." 9

FINANCIAL AID Outside Scholarships

An outside scholarship is any scholarship that is given by an organization or company other than Tif in University. Many students do not realize the abundance of outside scholarships that could help cover the cost of college. Some students are concerned with applying because of scams that exist. While students should be aware of how to spot these scams, it should not be a deterrent to seeking scholarships. How to spot scholarship scams  Application fees: Legitimate scholarship providers exist to help you fund for your education not to pro it from offering scholarships. If the irst thing an organization asks you for is for your credit card information, get out of that page as fast as you can. It is a SCAM.  Other award related fees: Never give money away to have your award disbursed or to learn more about an award. You are raising money for college not spending it.  Guarantee scholarships: Do not trust a company that guarantees that you will get the scholarship. There is no such thing as guaranteed scholarship!  Lack of professional appearance: Legitimate companies that are giving scholarships are very well organized with well‐designed websites, phone numbers you can call, and respectful representatives. If you come along a website with spelling errors, no phone numbers or no return addresses they are likely a scam.  Three main things to remember: 1.You should never pay for a scholarship 2. You should never give your social security number on an application, and 3. If it is too good to be true, it is probably a scam. How to search for scholarships There are two main types of scholarships; merit based meaning that a student meets the stand‐ CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE 10

FINANCIAL AID ards set by the organization and need based determined by the level of need determined by the FAFSA. A lot of scholarship organizations target a particular group of people such as under‐ graduate students, speci ic majors, or speci ic skills. Some scholarships cover the full cost of at‐ tendance but most are for a speci ic amount which is why students should apply for as many scholarships as possible. There are many places to search for scholarships including:

Fastweb.com: after creating an account you can search for scholarships. We recommend getting on at least once a month to view scholarships by deadlines to make sure that you don’t miss out!  Collegeresourcenetwork.com: After choosing the scholarship tab you can search for scholarships by state, major, or demographic information.  Local Resources: Check your church, library, employer, parent’s employer, and local organ‐ izations to see if they offer scholarships.  Google: We recommend that students use Google to research scholarships speci ic to you‐so search your city, county, or speci ic skills by entering this information followed by the word scholarship.  Facebook: The inancial aid of ice tries to update their Facebook page regularly with schol‐ arships that students can apply for! To see these scholarships, like our page “Tif in Universi‐ ty Financial Aid”. The search for the perfect scholarship can be exhausting and sometimes depressing, but do not forget there is a lot of scholarship money each year that goes to waste. With a little persever‐ ance and dedication, you can land a full‐tuition scholarship. 

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 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 de‐ signee, 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 ad‐ vance as possible. If an instructor is not able to travel to the Tif in Campus due to severe weather, the instructor must make ar‐ rangements 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 communi‐ cate assignments. If classes are being held during severe winter weather, and a commuter student does not at‐ tend 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 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 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.
