Tif in University’s Student Government will hold the annual Christi Thomas Memorial Easter Egg Hunt on Wednesday, April 1, 2015 beginning at 3:30 p.m. in the Legacy Courtyard of the Tif in campus. The hunt has been a popular offering of the student government for many years and, through a generous donation by the Thomas family, it has now been renamed to honor their daughter, Christi, who succumbed to neuroblastoma in 2006.

All Tif in-area children are invited to bring family and friends to watch the hunt for brightly colored surpriseilled eggs. A special appearance of TU’s Dragon and the Easter Bunny will also delight children including one special egg per group that offers a special prize. Family and friends are welcome and encouraged to come and watch the children hunt for brightly colored eggs that have been stuffed with candy. Nobody will leave with an empty basket.

Children are asked to meet in Osceola Theatre in the Gillmor Student Center with adult supervision and a basket to collect eggs.

Age groups are set up as follows (hunting times vary):

Ages 2 and under; Ages 3‐4; Ages 5‐6; Ages 7+

Parents/guardians are asked to assist in helping children understand the rules explained at the gathering time and to be courteous to their fellow egg hunters.

There is no charge for the event. For more information , please contact Laura Green at 419.448.3424 or GreenL@tif in.edu or Amanda Skafec at 419.448.5136 or skafecam@tif in.edu.

ATTENTION GRADUATING SENIORS!

President and Mrs. Marion cordially invite you to a reception in honor of Tif in campus seniors on Thursday, April 23, 2015, from 5:30-7 p.m. in the Hayes Center for the Arts.

This reception is in conjunction with the Student Art Exhibit opening on TU's campus.

Dr. Lisa Kahle‐ Piasecki Presented Paper at National Business and Eco‐ nomics Society Conference

Tif in University professor, Dr. Lisa KahlePiasecki, presented her paper entitled “Blogging and Gaming for Learning in Small Business Management” at the National Business and Economics Society Conference in Playa Bonita, Panama, March 11-14.

Kahle-Piasecki’s paper was on research she conducted to examine how the use of digital games or simulations, combined with the use of a blog for re lection on course material, supports learning in the classroom.

“When combining the use of a blog with a simulation, learning can be positively affected because the blog offers students a place to support their individual simulation learning within a classroom community,” said Kahle-Piasecki. “Because the millennial generation continues to make up the student population in higher education, an expectation for integrating technology in the classroom will continue to increase.”

She also served as the session chair for Education at the conference.

For more information, contact Dr. Lisa Kahle-Piasecki at piaseckil@tif in.edu

TU Student to Host Family and Friends Bene it Concert

Tif in University Senior Arts Administration student David Driskill will be the host of a Family and Friends Bene it Concert to raise funds for two different nonpro it organizations on April 11 at 7:30 p.m. in Osceola Theatre located in the Gillmor Student Center.

The concert will bene it Feeding America and BeYOUtiful Girls. Feeding America is a nationwide network of 58,000 charitable food programs that provide service to 46.5 million people in across the United States, including 12 million children and 7 million seniors.

“As an Arts Administration major, I have to do a senior project and I wanted to do something that makes people feel great and also gives back,” Driskill said. “I chose Feeding America because I know what it is like to go without food for a few days and my family and I needing help with getting food because of inancial problems.”

BeYOUtiful Girls is an up and coming organization that seeks to cultivate the lives of young women. The organization focuses on discovering purpose as well as building important relationships that can be bene icial for one’s social life and career by providing an array of meetings, classes and workshops that will enhance the knowledge of girls between the ages of 5 and 25.

“I chose BeYOUtiful Girls because I was raised by my mother and sister. I’ve seen how hard it is for women to struggle. Seeing my mother and sister grow into these strong, beautiful women even in hard times is why I chose BeYOUtiful Girls,” he said.

The concert will feature singing and dancing performed by the family and friends of David Driskill, including TU students and others from Driskill’s hometown of Cincinnati.

Tickets will be $5 with all proceeds to go to the two charitable organizations.

For more information, contact David Driskill at driskilldj@tif in.edu.

So why do we have maintenance windows?

Well if a system is not updated on a regular basis, it creates a risk that the system may have issues and downtime will occur when the system is needed. When a system goes down during normal hours, productivity is lost across the campus. This also creates an emergency

response state to get the system back up and

running. ITS resources are then diverted to

handle the crisis instead of maintaining and

supporting regular day to day issues. Updates ITS Maintenance Windows to systems also help to reduce risk of virus attacks. Just like your computer at work or home, servers need to run patches to ix potential security risks that could cause the system vulnerable to attacks such as viruses or hacking.

Recently, Tif in University ITS has implemented a monthly maintenance window. In fact, last Friday was our second of icial maintenance window. What exactly is a maintenance window and how does it affect you? A maintenance window is an allotted time for the ITS department to run regular maintenance on applications, servers and other network equipment to keep them running ef iciently. Since the maintenance is scheduled for a speci ic time, during off hours, most users are unaffected by the updates. Tif in University has set every third Friday of the month from 6:00 pm to 12:00 am for the maintenance window. This time frame was chosen so it would not impact normal working hours. Not all services are usually affected during a speci ic maintenance window. Usually only systems that need updates are maintained during the maintenance window.

So what do we gain by scheduling regular maintenance windows? Users know when to expect an outage and can plan work schedules accordingly. ITS resources can be planned and scheduled so the focus is on the updates while not affecting other services. Systems are updated and maintained on a regular basis reducing risk of unscheduled downtime and system attacks. Though not every potential risk can be accounted for, the maintenance window is just another tool to help ITS provide more reliable systems and a more reliable network.

stepping stones throughout the major--evidence collected in one class will be analyzed by students in subsequent classes.

TU to Offer New Majors: Digital Innovation and Design and Criminalistics

Tif in University will begin offering two new majors beginning fall semester 2015: Digital Innovation and Design within the Bachelor of Business Administration degree program and Criminalistics within the Bachelor of Criminal Justice degree program according to Dr. Lillian Schumacher, Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Digital Innovation and Design will create an opportunity for students to work across curricula from the School of Business and the School of Arts and Sciences.

Tif in University has identi ied the need for a degree that integrates the creative, expressive, and skills aspects of Arts courses with those of the information systems courses while grounding these skills in the Business core.

Criminalistics ful ills the need that remains for TU students who wish to study the law enforcement ield application of forensic science, but are not necessarily suited for a career as a laboratory forensic scientist.

This major will capture students who desire to become law enforcement of icers specializing in the area of forensic evidence. The courses are uniquely designed as

"These new programs are two examples of the exceptional work our faculty continuously produce,” Schumacher said. “The new BBA, Digital Innovation and Design, is an interdisciplinary major with a strong focus in both business principles and innovative technology; a subject matter needed in today's marketplace. The BCJ in Criminalistics is a new, cutting edge major—one we expect to become extremely popular within our School of Criminal Justice and Social Sciences offerings.”

For more information about the BBA in Digital Innovation and Design, contact Dr. James Padilla, Dean of the School of Business, at 419.448.3019 or PadillaJ@tif in.edu.

For more information about the BCJ in Criminalistics, contact Dr. Jaimie Orr, Dean of the School of Criminal Justice at 419.448.3319 or OrrRJ@tif in.edu.

As you are beginning to think about courses for the fall—please consider a unique professional opportunity offered by Tiffin Uni‐ versity through the Addic ons Counseling Courses/ Program. This program can lead to professional licensure as an addic ons therapist.

4. Elec ve Courses. The TU CSL Classes can be taken for standalone elec ve credit (undergrad or graduate) mixed and matched to interest and need based on prior courses and licen‐ sure requirements.

License as Chemical Dependency Counselor:

In Ohio the “star ng” status in CDCA ‐ Chemical Dependency Counselor Assistant,(Cer fica on) which can applied for a er 40 clock hour in specific chemical dependency counselor educa‐ onal areas. Note: CSL 310/510 is designed to meet this re‐ quirement and students can apply (and are encouraged to ap‐ ply) for this cer fica on a er CSL 310/510 course.

Further levels of licensure in Ohio and requirements are listed in the a achments and are available at the Ohio Chemical Depend‐ ency Professionals Board website:h p://ocdp.ohio.gov/ licensing.stm Most students will enter the license process in Ohio as a CDCA (two phases) and then move on to LDC III a er receiving a bach‐ elor’s degree in a behavioral science (note NON behavioral sci‐ ence degree students will obtain LCDC II.) Masters level de‐ greed persons in a behavioral science will also likely enter as a LCDC III and perhaps later mover towards LICDC. See handout and Ohio Chemical Dependency Professionals Board website for detailed requirements.

License consists of mul ple requirements: ‐‐Degree (Behavioral Science degree, which can be Criminal Jus‐ ce, Psychology, Social, Counseling, etc.). Note NON behavioral science degree students will obtain LCDC II. See handouts and Ohio Chemical Dependency Professionals Board website for more info.

‐‐One year (2,000 hours) of chemical dependency counseling related compensated work or supervised internship experience (as CDCA) verified by supervisor.

180 hours of chemical dependency educa on in nine specific

content areas (CSL courses cover these areas) TU courses meet this requirement. See handouts and Ohio Chemical Dependency Professionals Board website for areas and form.

220 prac cal experience hours in the twelve core func ons.

This may be completed as part of your work experience require‐ ments (but can begin in internship). See handouts and Ohio Chemical Dependency Professionals Board website for areas and form to verify by supervisor.

Successful comple on of the ADC examina on

Outside of Ohio The OCDP (Ohio) Board is a member of the Interna onal Cer fi‐ ca on and Reciprocity Consor um. Membership in the IC&RC requires a commitment to adhere to mul ‐faceted require‐ ments designed to ensure counselor competence.

Counselors licensed in Ohio at the LCDC II level or above are eligible for reciprocity in the more than fi y states and countries that are members of the IC&RC, provided that same type and level of creden al is offered.

If you are OUTSIDE OF OHIO Your best bet is to check the Chemical Dependency Counselor Licensing board in your state for the requirements. Your TU degree will likely apply, but you will likely need more specific Chemical Dependency course‐ work/training. Some mes this can be accomplished through professional workshops (which may be online) but one would need to check with your "home" state board whom usually can provide a list of pre‐approved educa on providers:

Other “Home” Boards: h p://www.naadac.org/cer fica on‐boards h p://professionals.interna onalcreden aling.org/boards

As one can see there are many “paths” to licensure as a Chemi‐ cal Dependency Counselor and individuals cases can be unique – AND when in doubt or for assessment of eligibility please check your “home” licensure board.
