TU’s Dragons Den Players to Present, “Terror by Gaslight” a Thriller by Tim Kelly

The problem is that he needs cadavers, and by law these can only be obtained from the public gallows, so he is forced to deal with the unsavory Gin Hester and her sinister partner, Scrubbs, two grave robbers and body-snatchers that have little concern about where the corpses might come from.

ARTIST MATT TAYLOR TO VISIT CAMPUS APRIL 9 Artist Matt Taylor “Mr. Taylor” designs are about controlling focus, and creating compositions that guide the viewer’s eye.

Student Tyler Rogers, an AYA English Education major, participated in the 21st Minds at Work Student Research Conference at Heidelberg University in February. Tyler's presentation "Native American Veterans: Coping with Postwar Trauma" discussed two short stories and contemporary application of Native American traditions as they pertained to veterans and PTSD. Louise Erdrich's "The Red Convertible" and Jim Northrup's "The Veterans' Dance" both are stories about veterans of the Vietnam War. According to Rogers, "In the overlap of two neglected demographics, Native American and veterans, are Native American veterans. The Native American veteran is unique in that he cannot recover from postwar stress in the same manner as the average American veteran of war. The powwow, for example, is a remarkable healing process for Native American veterans. . . . [In the two short stories] one veteran is neglected by his family and community while the other receives a successful combination of Western [counseling] and Native American [ceremony] support systems." Furthermore, research reveals that the sweat lodge is now being implemented on at least a few American bases where Native American veterans can return to their own cleansing ceremonies after experiencing combat in the Middle East. 12

On a Musical Mission
Santos, a Wyoming Valley native who graduated from Wyoming Valley West High School and Wilkes University, directs DFX, one of several touring ensembles that spent their spring break on “recruitment tours” of various high schools.
Article appeared in The Times Leader in Wilkes-Barre, PA on March 19 By: Mary Therese Biebel mbiebel@civitasmedia.com
After the concert, there would be time for questions.
But the Tiffin musicians are not necessarily urging students to major in music. After all, even in the DFX group there are students from several other fields and undeclared majors in addition to music majors.
If you wanted to learn about studying music at Tiffin University in Ohio, or earning a music scholarship award to that school even if you intended to major in, say, criminal justice or communications, there would be an opportunity.
“Ten percent of the entire student body of Tiffin University participates in music,” Santos said. “All who participate in music get a scholarship award. Even non -majors. We set up our stipend program to be similar to the athletic department.” As a result, Santos said, “We tend to attract many people who have a great passion for music but don’t necessarily want to go into music as a career, and they are But for the 45 minutes or so that DFX, a band made up rewarded for their participation.” of Tiffin students, performed soft rock, progressive rock and retro songs such as “Rosanna” and “Sweetest Santos grew up with music, participating in marching Taboo” last week at Meyers High School in Wilkesband, concert band, jazz band, musicals and choruses Barre, it was simply time for the audience to have fun. as a student here.

Master of Education (MED)
Why not take some time to consider continuing your education this spring or summer with one of Tiffin University’s graduate programs.

Graduate students are often on the cutting edge of their industries, becoming pioneers in their fields. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average worker with a master's degree will net an additional $10,000 or more per year than those with only a bachelor's degree. Working only twenty years after earning your master’s degree can bring in additional income of $200,000. The cost of graduate school tuition is obviously well worth the expense. We would love to have an opportunity to discuss our graduate program with you in detail. I also encourage you to complete the online application at http://www.tiffin.edu/apply/ grad/.

Tiffin Leadership Park The Leadership Seneca County class of 2014 presented their community service project to Tiffin City Council on Monday, February 3, 2014 and was approved by a unanimous 6-0 vote. Leadership Park will be located on the east side of the river, along the water front in an existing grassy area. This area will be developed with the intention for it to be used for Tiffin community events including events for the creative arts and community engagement events. The development of Leadership Park will give a warm welcome coming into the downtown area with beauty and art leading into an inviting historic area that individuals from all over the Country will pass in route to places like Heidelberg University, The Civil War Museum, or the events at the YMCA and Hedges Boyer park. Market Street is the gateway to the downtown area, and it is the hope of Leadership Seneca County Class of 2014 to kick off to the beautification and economic revitalization of our downtown. For more information please visit www.facebook.com/ LeadershipParkTiffin or email LeadershipParkTiffin@gmail.com The mission of Leadership Seneca County is "educating and inspiring individuals to be dynamic leaders and contributors in the workplace and the community".
