  • The Rhythm of College Life
    The Rhythm of College Life For many students, going to college is filled with ambiguity and doubt. It may be their first time away from home for an extended period. There is powerful tension between their desire for more freedom and autonomy and their need for reassurance and support. Parents, too, have mixed emotions when their children leave home. They often feel a sense of loss accompanied by a sense of freedom. The house seems so quiet. At the same time, the house seems too quiet! Separation Anxiety People are more comfortable with the familiar. Your son or daughter has probably spent several years with the same friends from the same high school. The teachers are familiar, the school campus is familiar, and the town is familiar. College means finding a whole new set of friends, adapting to professors who do not treat them the way their high school teachers did, and navigating a campus where everything is not located in one building. Beginning a new adventure on campus at Tiffin University generates both excitement and anxiety. For students who adapt quickly, any apprehension is quickly overcome. For others, the transition may take a little longer and include some struggle with homesickness. Some students begin to feel anxious several weeks before they even leave home. Others seem OK at first only to find themselves feeling homesick later, perhaps after returning from Christmas break. Most often, though, the first few days or weeks are the most difficult. At TU, we help students feel accepted and secure by creating an environment in which they can function well and meet challenges successfully.

  • Narrative Topography: Fictions of Country, City, and Suburb in the Work of Virginia Woolf, W. G. Sebald, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Ian Mcewan
    Narrative Topography: Fictions of Country, City, and Suburb in the Work of Virginia Woolf, W. G. Sebald, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Ian McEwan Elizabeth Andrews McArthur Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Elizabeth Andrews McArthur All rights reserved ABSTRACT Narrative Topography: Fictions of Country, City, and Suburb in the Work of Virginia Woolf, W. G. Sebald, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Ian McEwan Elizabeth Andrews McArthur This dissertation analyzes how twentieth- and early twenty-first- century novelists respond to the English landscape through their presentation of narrative and their experiments with novelistic form. Opening with a discussion of the English planning movement, “Narrative Topography” reveals how shifting perceptions of the structure of English space affect the content and form of the contemporary novel. The first chapter investigates literary responses to the English landscape between the World Wars, a period characterized by rapid suburban growth. It reveals how Virginia Woolf, in Mrs. Dalloway and Between the Acts, reconsiders which narrative choices might be appropriate for mobilizing and critiquing arguments about the relationship between city, country, and suburb. The following chapters focus on responses to the English landscape during the present era. The second chapter argues that W. G. Sebald, in The Rings of Saturn, constructs rural Norfolk and Suffolk as containing landscapes of horror—spaces riddled with sinkholes that lead his narrator to think about near and distant acts of violence. As Sebald intimates that this forms a porous “landscape” in its own right, he draws attention to the fallibility of representation and the erosion of cultural memory.

  • 1985-01-A: Requirements for Initiation Or Change of Credit- Based Academic Programs
    PA State System of Higher Education Board of Governors Effective: March 19, 1985 Page 1 of 3 Policy 1985-01-A: Requirements for Initiation or Change of Credit- Based Academic Programs See Also: Adopted: March 19, 1985 Amended: October 9, 2003, January 19, 2012, April 10, 2014, October 8, 2015, January 25, 2018, and July 12, 2018 A. Purpose To delegate to the Chancellor the Board of Governors’ authority as set forth in 24 PS 20- 2006A(a)(5) for the approval of new undergraduate and graduate degree programs. B. Introduction The high-value and relevant academic programs of Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education universities prepare our students for success in their lives and careers in our global society. This policy will ensure all new academic programs undergo a consistent, fair, and timely process to determine the need and appropriateness for the State System. C. Definitions Academic Major: Main field of study in an academic program. For baccalaureate degrees, the academic major (comprised of core and cognate courses) and general education are the two principal components of the degree. For master’s degrees, the academic major (common core), concentration or specialization, and capstone experience(s) are the principal components of the degree. Academic major can be a sequence of courses, activities, and/or experiences constituting a major field of study, culminating in a credit-based degree or certificate. Academic Minor: An organized program of study that comprises the fundamental requirements of an academic major (core and cognate courses) equivalent to a minimum of 18 semester credit hours. As a secondary field of study, the academic minor should reflect a minimum of six credits of advanced standing coursework.

  • Proposal for a New Academic Minor in Population and Public Health
    Proposal for a New Academic Minor in Population and Public Health Background and Purpose In contrast to clinical medicine which focuses attention on individual patients, public health is concerned with the health of populations. Its efforts to control disease rely primarily on prevention rather than on curing individual patients. The Association of Schools of Public Health defines public health as, ―the science and art of protecting and improving the health of communities through education, promotion of healthy lifestyles, and research for disease and injury prevention‖ (www.whatispublichealth.org). The responsibilities of public health professionals cover a wide range of services, including identifying the cause of a disease outbreak, monitoring air and water quality, vaccinating a community, preparing for emergencies, and inspecting restaurants. The emergence of public health as a distinct field may be dated to the 19th century with such events as the creation of the smallpox vaccine and the discovery that a London cholera outbreak could be traced to a single neighborhood water pump. In recent years, public health has taken on a broader set of issues such as social inequalities and global environmental challenges, and is increasingly insistent on scientific, ―evidence-based‖ research and interventions. With its foci on the common good and on protecting the public, particularly those who are disadvantaged, an education in population and public health prepares students for careers consistent with the John Carroll vision statement, to ―graduate individuals of intellect and character who lead and serve by engaging the world around them and around the globe‖ (www.jcu.edu/about/vmc2.htm). The university’s core values that are especially relevant to an education in public health include: A culture of service and excellence that permeates every program and office.
