http://www.tiffin.edu/annual_report_2008/president’s_message

The 2008 year was an

especially positive one for

Tiffin University. A few of the

highlights are described below:

ENROLLMENT

The 2008 fall enrollment was

2,705, which represents a

one-year increase of 15.2% and

a five-year increase of 80.4%.

This compares with a one-year

increase of 2.3% and a five-year increase of 4.5% for the combined

total for all other colleges and universities in Ohio.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

The Master of Education degree, Associate of Arts in General

Studies degree, undergraduate major in General Science and

minor in Sports and Recreation Management, and certificate in

Addiction Counseling were implemented.

INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES

TU’s MBA program in Romania was delivered in Timisoara in

addition to Bucharest, and a partnership was developed with

Nanjing Normal University in addition to the existing partnership

with Beijing Normal University in China. In order to give more

attention to the needs of the increasing enrollment of internation-

al students on the Tiffin campus, the part-time positions of Director

of International Student Services and Assistant Director

of International Recruitment were expanded to full-time, and

improvements were made to the English Language and

American Culture Program.

ATHLETICS

The University began competing as a member of the Great Lakes

Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, which is considered by many

to be the premier NCAA Division II conference. The new equestrian

team continued to perform very well, and plans were developed

for a women’s lacrosse team to begin competition in the 2009-10

academic year.

FINANCES

The University’s long-term debt was consolidated and refinanced

at lower rates and more favorable terms, and the fiscal year ended

with a healthy surplus and a clean audit.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

Solicitation of pledges and gifts continued for the capital

campaign to raise funds for construction of the recreation

center and other campus improvements, as well as endowed

scholarships.

CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS

The University worked with officials of the City of Tiffin and the

Ohio Department of Transportation to complete the plans to use

federal funds to improve the appearance and pedestrian safety of

two streets that run through the Tiffin campus. Also, an outdoor

track was constructed and the Gillmor Center gymnasium was

enhanced with additional storage capacity, new score boards,

and improved locker rooms.

STUDENT SERVICES

Special efforts to improve campus safety included updating the

University’s emergency response plan and conducting two simula-

tion exercises. Also, the position of Director of Residence Life was

created to enhance residential life.

ASSESSMENT AND ACCREDITATION

Continued progress was made in implementing a comprehensive

program for assessing learning outcomes, and work began on

the self-study report as part of the process for TU to seek re-

accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission of the North

Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

TECHNOLOGY

The University began using eCollege as the platform for all online

courses, a new point of sale system was installed in the bookstore,

the computer system was upgraded to enhance information

security, and other improvements were made for using technology

to streamline various administrative functions.

THANK YOU

The donors who are recognized in this report play a very important

role in helping make these improvements possible, as well as the

many other exciting things that are happening at Tiffin University.

Students who attend TU for many years in the future will benefit

from the generous gifts provided by our donors, in addition to

the support provided by our Board of Trustees, staff and faculty,

and other alumni and friends. The future is bright for TU, and my

wife, Susan, and I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this

dynamic university.

Five examples of the many types of students

that Tiffin University attracts for its online

programs are presented below. They come

from diverse backgrounds. They come from

different cities – different states. Each is married

and committed to family and work. In addition

to balancing life at home with their careers, they

are also pursuing degrees at Tiffin University as

online students. As online students, they live

“many lives” at once, on the way to completing

their respective programs.

Jeffrey Hohman (Chino, California) is a Los

Angeles County deputy sheriff, working 60-70

hours a week. Diana Nolen (Galion, Ohio)

is a stay-at-home mom with four children,

the youngest diagnosed with spinal muscular

atrophy. Desa M. Jacobs (Penfield, Ohio) is an

assistant vice president for a major bank and has

two children, ages 14 years and 15 months. Jeff

Dyrlund (Orlando, Florida) is also an execu-

tive in the banking industry and has two young

boys, ages 3 and 5. George B. Snyder (Vernon

Township, Ohio) is currently working three jobs

– for a hospital, a fire department, and a police

department.

Jessyln and Jeff Hohman

‘I AM BECOMING A MORE COMPETITIVE

EMPLOYEE IN TODAY’S FAST-PACED JOB

MARKET.

Jeff Hohman works in law enforcement as a

deputy sheriff, but is pursuing a Bachelor of

Business Administration degree from TU. He

wants to broaden his base of knowledge to

give him an edge in what has become a highly

competitive job market. He hopes to graduate

in January 2010.

One of the reasons Hohman chose Tiffin is

because of a cooperative agreement with the

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD).

The department has a program called LASD

University, which partners with colleges and

universities across the country to assist its staff in

earning or finishing their degrees.

“Tiffin University was the only school on LASD

University’s list of approved schools that offered

a 100 percent online schedule,” he says. “Jug-

gling work, family and school is a difficult task for

me. I work 60 to 70 hours a week. I have a great

wife who holds our home together. If it were

not for Tiffin University’s 100 percent online de-

gree program, I would not be able to finish my

education. My unpredictable schedule almost

guarantees that I would not be able to arrive at

assigned times for class. Tiffin’s program allows

me to accomplish schoolwork when and where

I have the time.”

Hohman says he enjoys his job. “I love chasing

bad guys and taking crooks to jail. I like where I

am at in my career. Having this degree, however,

will help solidify my position with my employer

and enable me to move up should I choose to in

the future.”

He adds, “Many people ask me why I chose not

to get a degree in criminal justice. My response

is simple. I am already a professional in criminal

justice, why would I want to get a degree in

something I am already a pro at?”

Tiffin University is giving him the opportunity to

become a pro in another field.

The many lives of an online student

are as varied as the students themselves, and each has a compelling story to tell.

> 5

Online education is the fastest growing segment of Tiffin University’s enrollment. The Online

Education Database (OEDb) ranks TU in the top tier of colleges and universities that offer courses and

programs online.

“During these challenging financial times, it is more important than ever that students make sure they

are getting a valuable education for their tuition dollar. We recognize the top schools as the leading

degree-granting online institutions in the U.S.,” remarks Ashley Merusi, OEDb spokesperson.

“Tiffin University is extremely proud of the quality of our online programs,” says TU President

Paul Marion. “We have dedicated professional instructors. Our students learn from someone

who knows the academic content and also has experience in applying the learning to real world

experiences.”

Tiffin University’s online students receive the same high-quality, professionally-focused education

and degree as its on-campus students – with one exception: no commute. TU’s online programs are

centered around the students, who set their own schedules. The curriculum is delivered by an

accomplished and highly-trained faculty, many of whom work in the field they are teaching. TU’s

online programs offer the same small classes and intense interaction between students and faculty

that one would find on campus. TU has a dedicated staff to mentor and lead its online students from

day one of classes through the completion of their degree programs.

TU offers its online courses on a state-of-the-art learning platform in partnership with eCollege,

a leader in online education. The eCollege platform is known for its reliability, and TU is known

for its personal involvement in making the online experience successful. In addition to the

convenience of online learning, Tiffin University has the capability to put each online student

in touch with faculty members in real time through Class Live Pro, a synchronous learning tool

that is embedded in all of its online courses.

All of Tiffin University’s online programs are authorized by the Ohio Board of Regents and are

accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and

Schools, one of the six regional accreditation bodies recognized by all major public and private

colleges and universities in America. TU’s online business programs are also accredited by the

Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs.6 <

Diana Nolen

‘I ONLY HAVE TWO-AND-A-HALF HOURS

A DAY.’

Diana Nolen had just started her studies at

Marion Technical College for Nursing when the

youngest of her four children was born and

diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy, making

him completely dependent on others for his

care. Because of her need to be a stay-at-home

mom, she could no longer attend college in a

traditional classroom setting. Tiffin University’s

online program is making her goal of finishing

an Associate of Arts in General Studies possible.

She expects to graduate in December 2010. She

hopes to eventually continue her education and

return to work in respiratory or physical therapy.

Nolen chose TU because of its complete online

program. She says that other schools were offer-

ing a mix of online and classroom education, but

her “time to attend classes is not at the normal

times classes are held elsewhere.”

”I also have three other children, and sometimes

it gets pretty hectic. My girls are teenagers

though, so they help out quite a bit,” she says.

“My husband works second shift, three of my

children go to school all day, and my young-

est son goes to school for 2 1/2 hours a day—

that is when I get my schoolwork done.”

Nolen says she appreciates the expertise of

the Tiffin University faculty and staff. “Also, the

interaction with students in the online setting

is great,” she remarks. “It is nice to get to know

different people from different backgrounds, and

with different struggles, and to hear supportive

comments.”

Tyler (age 5), Jeff Dyrlund and Carson (age 3)

FLEXIBILITY IS A KEY COMPONENT WITH

THE ONLINE PROGRAM.

Like Desa Jacobs, Jeff Dyrlund works in the

financial industry. He is a bank branch manager/

vice president, responsible for the small busi-

ness results and community development as

well as the coaching and development of the

branch staff. Married with two boys, ages 3 and

5, he will finish his MBA with a concentration in

Leadership in May.

“It is becoming increasingly important to differ-

entiate yourself amongst your peers as it relates

to what you offer to your clients in the banking

industry,” Dyrlund says. “Every bank has checking

accounts, savings accounts, loans, and so forth,

but not every bank has employees that are ex-

perts in their field. By continuing my education,

it affords me the opportunity to gain positions of

greater responsibility within my organization –

all while developing those around me.”

He remarks that the way the online MBA is set

up, “You are awarded with so much flexibility,”

he explained. “As a student, you are able to

complete your work at any time of the day

and the workload is very reasonable. My chief

concern of any online degree was the lack of the

classroom experience. However, the folks who

enroll in the online MBA will, without question,

develop a great understanding in their con-

centration. A majority of the classes offer both

online discussions and written papers. You still

have the setting to talk to other students and

understand their thoughts about subject matter

as well as your own analytical responses to the

text and case studies assigned.”

Dyrlund praises the faculty and staff at TU, as

well as his fellow students. “The student interac-

tion has been very positive,” he says. “Even

though communication will seldom, if ever, be

face to face, you are able to work very efficiently

through group projects.”

He says his future plans include moving into an

executive role in the banking industry, as well as

potentially attending law school.

Kirk and Desa Jacobs, Ryan (age 14), Sammi (the

smiling Beagle) and Nicholas (age 16)

‘WHEN I GRADUATE, I WILL BE THE FIRST

ONE IN MY FAMILY TO OBTAIN A COLLEGE

DEGREE.’

Desa M. Jacobs is an assistant vice president

with National City Bank, now a subsidiary of PNC

Bank. She is working on a Bachelor of Business

Administration degree with a concentration

in Organizational Management, and hopes to

graduate this spring, which will mark her 11th

year pursuing a college degree.

“I have a family, with a toddler and a 14-year-old,

8 <


a household to run, a full-time job and only the capacity to take one or two classes at a time.

Every year I chipped away at three or maybe four

classes until I decided to enroll in Tiffin Univer-

sity’s Fast Track program in Elyria, Ohio to finally

finish,” she says. “What I liked about Fast Track,

which is a seated program, was the ability to eas-

ily transfer my studies to TU’s online program.”

She explains: “I suppose what makes my story

unique is what has transpired over the last 18

months. About three weeks after the Fast Track

program started, I found out I was expect-

ing. My plan was to continue with the seated

program as long as possible and then go to the

online program until the baby was born.”

During her seventh month, however, her

husband became ill and was hospitalized. Four

weeks after her husband was released from the

hospital, Jacobs went into pre-term labor.

“My son was born seven weeks early and spent

23 days in the NICU at Metro General Hospital in

Cleveland. There was no way – considering my

husband’s condition, a pending subsequent sur-

gery, a baby in the NICU and one child at home

already – that I could be away from home for

four hours, even just one night a week,” she says.

She transferred to TU’s online program. Still, jug-

gling school and work can be a real balancing

act. “There are days I wonder if I can get it all

done,” she says. “It takes a lot of planning and

task master behavior. I work on my assignments

when I have the time. I have done homework

in the craziest of places – at my son’s baseball

practices and games, in the maternity ward,

in the NICU, at work, in the airport and before

leadership conferences—I am grateful for the

support from my family.”

Jacobs says that writing some of the final papers

for some of her more difficult classes means

she stays hidden in her office for hours at a time

for multiple days. “On these days, my husband

takes care of the kids and it is a fend-for-yourself-

dinner kind of day or I wait until the little one is

in bed.”

She adds that the design of the online program

is essential to her success. “All of our major

assignments have been due on the weekend,

which helps greatly. The assignments are all

published at the beginning of the course, which

allows you to plan accordingly as well,” she

comments. “If you know you will be traveling for

work and may not have an Internet connec-

tion accessible to you, the instructors are often

flexible with notice. For example, I was in the

hospital unexpectedly for four days when I had

my son. I had a discussion board response due

during my hospital stay, so I wrote my response

out and had my husband drive home so he

could post it for me. I suppose you do what it

takes to get everything done.”

The experience of a non-traditional student is

not only different from the student’s perspective,

but from a teacher’s perspective as well. “It is

common for us to have a full day of work making

decisions, managing people and budgets, and

for some – picking up kids, cooking dinner, giv-

ing baths, reading books and tucking in before

we open our book,” she says. “This brings a

unique view to the assignment and a level of se-

Snyder is enrolled in the degree completion pro-

gram for the Bachelor of Criminal Justice with

a concentration in Justice Administration, and

will complete his coursework for graduation in

July. He credits his wife of six years, Katie, for her

encouragement and support as he completes

his online program. He notes that he is the first

member of his family to attend college.

“It is about pursuing a dream not only for career

advancement, but simply for me,” he says.

When Snyder began his search for the right

school, he knew he has specific needs. “First, the

program had to be completely online. I don’t

have the time to go and sit in a classroom. Sec-

ond, I have a significant background in public

safety, and at the time had around 17 years in

the fire department alone, which means that I

already had a lot of life experience accompanied

by formal training. I needed a school that would

recognize the formal training and offer college

credit for it. Third, the tuition had to be reason-

able. While online courses require a facilitator

and a computer server, the cost of being in a

brick-and-mortar classroom is not there and the

tuition should reflect that. Finally, the school

had to be appropriately accredited, so in the

event that I wish to pursue a master’s degree,

there would be no problem with the graduate

program accepting my undergraduate degree.”

He found each of these qualities in Tiffin Univer-

sity’s online education program.

“The challenges of schoolwork in relation to the

rest of my life is probably the most difficult thing

which with to deal throughout this program,”

Snyder says. “I work three jobs, and then still

need to spend quality time with my family. My

wife works three 12-hour shifts per week, and

she is on midnight turn where I am on a modi-

fied day/afternoon turn. I find that I complete

most of my work for school when she is at work,

simply because I have no distractions. When

I get home, she is at work, and I spend many

nights awake until 3 a.m. finishing what I can.”

Snyder is cognizant that part of completing

his degree is a component of job security. “A

degree is becoming more and more a neces-

sary component in an uncertain economy,” he

says. “But there is also personal gratification,

and the fact that I will be the first in my family

to have earned a degree, and one of the first in

my fire department to have earned a bachelor’s

degree. So, needless to say, this has been more

of a personal endeavor than anything else. I do,

however, have aspirations to become the fire

chief of my fire department some day, as well as

advance in hospital administration. This degree

will hopefully set me up for just that.”

riousness to getting the best out of the class. We

are often older and we recognize how precious

our time is with our families. In many instances,

we write the check for tuition and for some, go

through the pains of our employer’s tuition reim-

bursement process. The cost – not just mon-

etary – and the benefit of this experience are

realized on a different plane, making our expec-

tations of the materials, the curriculum and the

teaching higher.” Jacobs says: “A non-traditional

student is tenacious, driven and will not accept

mediocrity from our instructors. Just as it takes a

unique person to be a non-traditional student, it

takes a unique person to teach them.”

With a strong sense of achievement, she adds,

“When I graduate, I will be the first one in my

family to obtain a college degree. I am ex-

tremely proud of this accomplishment.”

George Snyder and his nephew, Avery

‘IT IS ABOUT PURSUING A DREAM NOT

ONLY FOR CAREER ADVANCEMENT, BUT

SIMPLY FOR ME.’

George B. Snyder calls his employment a bit

complex – which is quite the understatement.

“I actually hold three jobs. My primary employ-

ment is at Trumbull Memorial Hospital in Warren,

Ohio. I am the director and lead instructor of the

Institute for Prehospital Care, an education pro-

gram that trains emergency medical service pro-

viders, particularly paramedics. My second job is

as the assistant fire chief of the Burghill Vernon

Fire Department. I will have been a firefighter

for 20 years in May, and have been in EMS for 17

of those years. Finally, I also am a police officer

working for the City of Cortland, Ohio. I have

been a police officer for over 10 years to date.”

renewal fees) is $35 annually. Of

this $35 fee, $25 is directed to Tiffin

University in the form of a charitable

donation to the General Scholarship

Fund in your name.

Due to a change in the Drivers
