TIFFIN UNIVERSITY Online Graduate Programs Ranked 9th Best in the Country According to Graduateprograms.com, Tiffin University’s online graduate programs are the 9th best in the U.S. Because of expanding opportunities for higher education, many students are earning their graduate degrees online. Based on ratings and reviews posted on Graduateprograms.com by more than 15,000 enrollees in over 500 different online programs, students were asked to rate their respective programs using a 10-star system, with 1 being the worst and 10 the best, Tiffin University ranked in ninth place earning 8.93 stars.

Some of the universities ranked higher than Tiffin University include the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Johns Hopkins University, and Texas A & M University. Some of the institutions ranked lower than Tiffin were Penn State University, Georgetown University, New York University, Clemson University, University of Southern California, Northwestern University, and the University of Maryland.

The rankings are based on a variety of topics, such as academic competitiveness, career support, financial aid, and quality of network. For a given graduate program, rankings are determined by calculating the average score for each program based on the 15 ranking categories. These scores are then compared across all ranked schools for that program and are translated into a final ranking for that graduate program, i.e., business and management.

According to Tiffin University President Paul Marion, “We are very pleased that our online graduate programs have been recognized as being among the best in the U.S.”

Artist Glen Cebulash to Showcase “Paintings, Drawings and Collages” as Next Exhibit at TU’s Diane Kidd Gallery of Art Free Reception October 24 – 5:30 to 7 p.m. -- Open to the Public

TU’s Diane Kidd Gallery of Art will host a new exhibition of paintings, “Paintings, Drawings and Collages,” by Artist Glen Cebulash on Thursday, October 24 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The exhibition will run through November 21.

“Although my training was academic and traditional, and my work for many years was concerned with issues of observation and perception,” Cebulash said, “I have gravitated over the last decade toward a more formal and abstract language of painting. I am interested in a painting that can be nothing but a painting – that cannot be imagined as anything other than a painting; that refers only to itself, or other painting, and whose space is consistent with these fundamental characteristics.”

"Cebulash's paintings, drawings and collages touch on the fundamental nature of painting itself, as he works with shape, color, tone and abstraction to create his images,” said Curator Lee Fearnside. “They don't reference the physical world but the world of art."

Cebulash is Chair of the Department of Art and Art History at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. He earned his MFA from American University, and has exhibited his work in galleries around the Midwest since 1991.

Regular Diane Kidd Gallery of Art hours are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and by appointment. Group tours are also available. More information about the Gallery, tours or special viewings can be obtained by contacting Lee Fearnside at fearnsidel@tiffin.edu .

TU’s Dragons Den Players to Present, “The Money in Uncle George’s Suitcase,” a Comedy by Pat Cook Tiffin University’s Dragons Den Players will present The Money in Uncle George’s Suitcase, a comedy by Pat Cook, on November 1, 2 & 3.

The curtains will rise at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, November 1 & 2, and at 3 p.m. on Sunday November 3.

Performances will take place in TU’s Osceola Theatre located inside the Gillmor Student Center.

Tickets ($4.00 each) will be available at the door, and the play is open to the public.

Story of the Play When Uncle George invites his whole family up for a weekend of fun at his rustic cabin, he actually wants them together so he can read his will. But between the bequeathing and his rambling stories, George drops the bomb that somewhere on the property is a suitcase holding four hundred and eighty thousand dollars. But George’s gift is much more important than mere money, even though the relatives don’t see it that way—at first.

The Director’s View “This domestic farce characterizes the lengths to which family members will go in order to end up with the largest slice of the pie,” says Dr. Mary Grennen, Associate Professor of English and Director of Theatre Arts. “In each of the family members, we witness an about face in character when the news of a hidden bundle of cash on Uncle George's dilapidated property is revealed. The exact location of the money is anybody's guess, and the tension builds as all engage in a comical and devious treasure hunt.”

The Cast George Plunkett played by Graham Altizer, Mitch Bryant played by Justin Grimes, Joanne Bryant played by Paige Hanson, Chelsey Bryant played by Julie Banks, Margaret Blankenship played by Jamie Reed, Mamie Jo Durant played by Nicole Beard, Andrew Shumway played by Tyler Bell and Gloria Shumway played by Cari Lyczek-Roser.

Appel Named to Journal Editorial Board

Appel Presented at National Counselor Education Conference

Dr. Jonathan Appel, Associate Professor in the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences at Tiffin University, together with his wife Dr. Dohee Kim-Appel, an associate professor in the School of Graduate and Professional Studies at Ursuline College, presented at the the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES) 2013 Conference, “Promoting Unity While Affirming Diversity,” held October 17-20 in Denver Colorado.

Dr. Jonathan Appel from the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences at Tiffin University has been named an Associate Editor for the International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction, published by Springer. The International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction provides a forum for international debate on mental health and addiction-related issues, and helps make sense of the effects of mental health and addiction on individuals and societies. The Journal reports on current information and developments in mental health and addiction -related research, policy, phenomenology, literature, and treatment. The International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction offers broad-ranging coverage in such fields as psychology, sociology, anthropology, criminology, public health, history, law, and literature.

The first presentation, “Teaching Diversity: Utilization of Experiential Learning Approaches” explored ways to teach diversity through experiential learning approaches.

The second presentation, “Walls and Bridges: Barriers and Opportunities for Effective Learning in Between Non-native Speaking and Native Speaking Educators and Students” explored the obstacles and the unique opportunities for effective learning between international students and international faculty.

Dr. Appel, who has been an active reviewer for the journal for many years, states, “I applaud the intent and mission of this journal and I have come to take an interdisciplinary and international perspective in my teaching and research. This role fits very consistently with my personally and professional development goals. I learn a lot from reading and reviewing the papers, which provide a global and diverse view of the behavioral health fields. I am honored to part of this journal’s commitment to the expansion of mental health and addiction knowledge across disciplines and countries.”

The final presentation, “Similarities and Differences Between the United States and the South Korean Geriatric Healthcare Systems: Implications for Counseling” highlighted recent site visits and experiences in South Korea in 2013. Differences in the concepts of aging and filial responsibility between the two countries were examined in the presentation. Implications for mental health services in respective countries were emphasized.

Dr. Appel and Dr. Kim-Appel have actively pursued an exceedingly international and diversity based research agenda, presenting nationally and internationally on current educational and behavioral health issues.

Rovior Presented Paper at the South Central Modern Language Association Conference James Rovira presented the paper "Pragmatics in the Public Square: Robert Brandom and Milton’s Areopagitica" at the South Central Modern Language Association Conference on October 4th, 2013. In that paper Rovira argues that Robert Brandom’s Between Saying and Doing can help untangle some of the conceptual contradictions involved in Milton's Areopagitica, a famous tract arguing for freedom of speech and of the press. Brandom's work suggests a richly and intricately intertwined relationship between semantic approaches to a philosophy of language and pragmatic ones. Brandom is specifically concerned with how statements of propositional truths are in fact relational claims made upon the hearer of these truths.

Brandom’s theoretical stance therefore seems especially appropriate for analyzing public discourse, especially discourse about rights. John Milton’s Areopagitica is an especially compelling test case for Brandom’s pragmatics. It is a foundational document for establishing free public square discourse, yet it seems riddled with contradictions. Understood in the light of Brandom’s pragmatics, however, these contradictions seem less thorny. Though Milton appeals to a number of compelling ethical and political principles, Brandom’s pragmatic approach might also read Milton’s propositions as a series claims intended to serve the practical goal of the establishment of Milton’s ideal republic, one characterized by a limited public square comprised of members who recognize and acknowledge Milton’s relational claims.

TU’s Adjunct Professor Hatton Publishes Article Tiffin University’s adjunct Criminal Justice professor Stephanie Hatton’s article “Should Law Enforcement Utilize Psychics?” was published on PoliceOne.com.

The article addresses whether psychics, those who claim to possess supernatural or paranormal powers of “knowing” or “seeing,” should have a place in police investigations.

Hatton makes her conclusions based on available findings about whether psychics have significantly contributed to the closing of police investigations in which they were utilized. She also notes the lack of scientific evidence that psychic abilities can actually exist in a human.

“My personal opinion in this matter is that there is currently no scientific proof available that definitively proves (one way or the other) that psychics truly possess supernatural or paranormal powers that feature the ability to “see” or “know” things that average human beings are simply not capable of “seeing” or “knowing,” Hatton said. “My sincere desire in writing this article was to illustrate that while most of these alleged psychics mean well, there really is no credible scientific evidence demonstrating that an individual claiming to have some sort of ‘psychic power’ has ever actually solved a crime.”

The website PoliceOne.com is for full-time, as well as retired law enforcement officers with safety tips, stories, training, etc., that are aimed at protecting and educating those who visit the site.

Professor Hatton has been an adjunct at TU since January of 2013. Prior to joining TU, she served in Ohio and Florida as a police officer for approximately 14 years. She worked in several units including the Bike Unit, Gang Unit and Traffic Unit.

TU T& F Hosts Harry’s Haunted Trail

TU Baseball Team Announces Online Store Tiffin University’s Online Baseball Store is open for business through October 31, according to Coach Joe Wilkins. This is the second year that the team has hosted an online store as a fundraiser, and the team has found that people appreciate the ease of access it provides.

Tiffin University’s Track and Field Team will host Harry’s Haunted Trail throughout Tiffin University’s Paradiso Athletic Complex the weekend of October 25 & 26 from 7:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.

“Funds are used for facility improvements and program needs,” said Wilkins. “Some of the items are specifically for baseball, while other items include just the TU logo.

Those who choose to buy an item, such as TU Baseball or universal athletic gear, can opt to specify that the money they spend benefit an individual player or the entire team.”

The trail consists of 15 scenes, 40 plus characters, concessions, and other entertainment. A 30 to 45 minute hike through the haunted trails will cost $10 at the door and $8 if pre-purchased by contacting Assistant Track & Field Coach Nolan Hill at HillNJ@tiffin.edu. All proceeds will benefit both the Tiffin Track and Field team and Make-A-Wish foundation.

Those who want to have the items shipped to their home, because it is a different set up than a normal online site, have to scroll to the bottom of the page and choose the shipping like they would any other item - it is a $10 flat rate shipping fee, no matter how much is ordered.

Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. The Foundation's mission reflects the lifechanging impact that a Make-A-Wish®experience has on children, families, referral sources, donors, sponsors, and entire communities.

This is the second year that the team has hosted an online store as a fundraiser, and they found that people appreciate the ease of access it provides.

“The trails are put together each year as a fundraiser and entertainment for students and adults,” said Jeremy Croy, Track and Field Coach.

“We sold roughly 225 items last year and hope to increase that number to 300 this year,” said Wilkins.

The Paradiso Athletic Complex is located at 2375 CR 26 Tiffin, Ohio.

For more information contact Coach Joe Wilkins, wilkinsje@tiffin.edu , ext.5116 or visit the online store:
