Marion to Retire as President of Tiffin University Dr. Paul Marion, who has served as President of Tiffin University (TU) since 2002, announced that he will retire on June 30, 2015. According to Claire Johansen, Chair of the TU Board of Trustees, a national search will be conducted to have a new President ready to begin work on July 1. “On behalf of the trustees and the entire University, Paul and Susan Marion have been such an attribute to TU and our community, and we want to thank them for their outstanding service and contributions. We wish them well in retirement,” Johansen said. During Marion’s presidency at TU, enrollment has increased from 1,500 to more than 4,200 students, two major fund-raising campaigns were successfully carried out, a number of new facilities and campus improvements have been completed, many new academic programs were implemented, the athletic program became a member of NCAA Division II and the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, and the financial strength of the University has significantly improved, including a 474% increase in the value of net assets. According to Marion, “I am in my 13th year as TU’s President and will be 70 years old in February, so I believe that the timing is right for the University and for my wife, Susan, and me. Susan and I have enjoyed our experience in Tiffin and we appreciate the support and friendship that we have received from the trustees and the entire University and local community. Tiffin University is a strong institution that has a very bright future, and we look forward to keeping up with the University’s continued progress in the future after retirement.”

"Sign language by Barchael" Next Show at TU’s Kidd Gallery Undermine self-righteousness, while seriously spreading the ridiculous! Barry Whittaker and Michael Bernhardt (a.k.a. Barchael) are fascinated with contemporary uses and misuses of language. TU’s Diane Kidd Gallery of Art will host “Sign Language by Barchael,” as its next exhibition with a special opening reception on Thursday, October 23 from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. (artists speak at 6 p.m.) in the Hayes Center for the Arts. This exhibition is free, and the public is encouraged to attend. The show ends November 20. According to Barchael, we are awash in a sea of information. Signs, ads, texts, warnings, posts, billboards, and logos demand our attention daily. Each is an attempt to deliver information as fast, condensed words and phrases. Rather than rebelling against the information overload status quo, Barchael has decided to celebrate this style of communication. In the spirit of protest signs and graffiti—as channeled through early 20th century sign painting and roadside advertising—Barchael will create a public exploration of signs and language in Tiffin, Ohio. Residents can expect to see hand-painted signs, in the bright hues of traditional print-making processes, which will serve as a one-week public extension of the Barchael gallery exhibition. “I think it will be a great show,” said Curator Lee Fearnside, “because it is different, includes humor that addresses issues within our culture, and extends into the community.” About Barchael Barchael is the combined creative identity of Michael Bernhardt and Barry Whittaker, two artists whose individual practices overlap and expand via collaboration. Michael is an adjunct instructor at Metropolitan State College of Denver and at the University of Colorado-Boulder. Barry is an Assistant Professor of Art at the University of Toledo. Their long-distance collaboration becomes an important layer as they explore issues of communication, identification, and myth. Barchael navigates a range of media, confusing themselves as well as their audiences. Their ultimate goal is to undermine self-righteousness, while seriously spreading the ridiculous.

Tiffin University Students Help Doss High School as Community Service Project
TU’s Dr. Tiell Presents at World Association Sports Management Conference
Two Tiffin University freshmen seminar classes, taught by Dr. Terry Collins and Dr. Phyllis Watts, are asking for donations of gently used adolescent and young adult books (AYA) for the Harry Doss High School, Louisville KY, as their fall 2014 community service project.
Tiffin University’s Dr. Bonnie Tiell, Associate Professor of Management, presented two academic papers at the inaugural World Association Sports Management (WASM) conference in Madrid, Spain October 1-4.
This one-time gift of reading will help fill some gaps in the Doss High School Library’s holdings. The recent hit movie, The Giver, has generated a lot of interest among Doss readers, but school library media specialist Dr. Nancy Chiara stated that the library currently has only a single copy of Lois Lowery’s book on which the movie was based.
Tiell co-presented with Ohio University Sports Management instructor Kelley Walton, JD, former legal counsel and Director of Human Resources for the NHL Columbus Blue Jackets. The presentation topics included “Sport and Human Resources in a Global Market: The Importance of Adaptability and Systems Thinking” and “Lessons in International Relations and Global Sports Governance: Modernization of the World Olympians Association.”
According to Chiara, the Doss Library desperately needs books that are required reading for the high school’s upper classmen. For example, Doss has limited copies of works such as Golding’s Lord of the Flies and To Kill a Mockingbird, books that are used in many English language arts classes. So few books don’t go very far when the enrollment of the 9-12th grade high school is over 1,500 students. Dr. Chiara added, “This is a fabulous opportunity for our students. Our library has limited funds, so we can't always purchase all books we would like. Also, many of our students do not have any books at home, and this book drive may allow us to offer free books to students. The book club is thrilled and our school couldn't be happier about being the recipient of donated books.”
“The conference provided an opportunity to promote the 2016 Tiffin University Olympic Academic Experience and to network with industry professionals,” Tiell said. “The benefit of WASM is that it provides a forum to collaborate with academicians at universities around the world on ideas for infusing globalization into sports management curriculum,” said Tiell. “In addition, WASM provides networking opportunities with practitioners from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as well as with executives from national governing sport associations and professional franchise teams.”
Either paperback or hard cover books will be accepted. A complete list of requested titles can be found at this link: http://tinyurl.com/kp7w8vv Donors can drop off books at the Tiffin University’s Pfeiffer Library, Heidelberg University’s Beeghly Library, and the Tiffin-Seneca Public Library from now until Friday, October 31. For more information contact Dr. Collins at (419) 448-3432 or Dr. Watts at (419) 448 -3303. Donations of money will not be accepted.

TU Students Collect Shoes to Combat Global Poverty TU students are collecting shoes to support Soles4Souls, an international antipoverty organization. They’re asking the TU and Tiffin community to deposit unwanted shoes in donation boxes in the Gillmor Student Center and the Main Classroom Building between October 10 and December 5, 2014. “Our First-Year Seminar class decided to support Soles4Souls as their chosen community service project this semester because the students wanted to create positive change in people’s lives,” said Jamie Marinis, First-Year Seminar instructor. “We hope to make a difference for people in need.” Monetary donations are also accepted. Every dollar donated provides one pair of shoes to someone in need. Soles4Souls monetizes used shoes and clothing to create sustainable jobs and fund direct relief efforts, including distribution of new shoes and clothing. It was founded in 2007 and has distributed more than 22 million pairs of shoes in 127 countries. For addition information, contact Jamie Marinis at marinisjl@tiffin.edu or 419-448-3357.

According to this year’s slogan, “Great things happen when we GIVE to the United Way Campaign, ADVOCATE to other employees how important it is to support its cause, and VOLUNTEER,” Hall said. According to TU’s United Way Committee members Denise Burkin, Lauren Caminiti, Jill Earl, Vickie Galaska, Rhonda Gilreath, Lori Hall and Sarah Johnson, TU employees donated more than $20,000 last year, and it is the University’s goal to exceed that amount this year. On Friday, October 24, TU first-year students (class of 2018) will host a special “United Way Day.” Employees are asked to wear TU shirts to work and attend a volleyball game that evening at 7:00 p.m. The game, located in the Gillmor Student Center, will include gift baskets and 50/50 raffles and the community is invited to participate. All proceeds to benefit the United Way. TU will officially conclude its United Way campaign on Wednesday, October 29, with a celebration. All who have contributed to the campaign are invited and will be treated to refreshments and a gift raffle. For more information, contact Vickie Galaska, 419.448.3595 or email galaskavm@tiffin.edu .
