Martin Luther King, Jr. Remembered Sponsored by TU’s Office of Institutional Diversity & School of Business, Dr. Charlotte Broaden was TU’s guest speaker for the campus-wide Martin Luther King, Jr. Day celebration. Her presentation focused on Dr. King’s global impact.

A professor of International Business and Organizational Leadership at Southern New Hampshire University, Dr. Broaden’s current research focus is small business development and foreign direct investment on a global basis. She has developed courses in international entrepreneurship and has assisted several students in starting their own business.

In her presentation, Dr. Broaden discussed the importance of a global education. Because she has traveled, taught and worked overseas for decades, Broaden believes that it is advantageous for students to make every effort to become a globally-knowledgeable asset to potential employers.

Her recommendation to students was to stand out, take advantage of studying abroad, get published, learn a second language, and find internships in their chosen field for both personal and professional advantages.

The day’s events on campus were sponsored by TU’s Black United Students (BUS), Office of Institutional Diversity, School of Business, and Students Affairs.

WINTER WEATHER POLICY Tiffin Campus If a Level 3 snow emergency is officially declared for Seneca County by the Sheriff, classes on the Tiffin campus will be cancelled and University offices will be closed. Unless otherwise communicated by the President or the President’s designee, classes will be held and University offices will be open if a snow emergency is at Level 1 or Level 2.

If a snow emergency at Level 3 has been officially declared for Seneca County, University employees are not expected to travel to the Tiffin campus. Unless otherwise communicated by the President or the President’s designee, faculty members are expected to travel to the Tiffin campus to teach their classes and staff members are expected to travel to the Tiffin campus to report for work if a snow emergency for Seneca County is at Level 1 or 2. If a Seneca County snow emergency is at Level 1 or 2 and an employee chooses not report for work, the employee must inform his or her supervisor 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 officially 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 Tiffin campus, but must inform his or her supervisor.

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 offices are normally open, classes will be held and offices 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 have been cancelled and University offices 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 Tiffin Campus For Tiffin University classes that are taught at locations other than the Tiffin 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.
