Yes. Tiffin has an ongoing relationship with an organization called the Council of International Programs USA (CIPUSA.) This organization is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio and has been in operation since the early 1950s. Its mission has been to foster international relations through business and education. CIP has issued visas, found internships and housing for business people and government officials from overseas who want to work inside the U.S. for a limited amount of time (three months to one year.) Just this year, CIP has been granted the authority to issue visas to the U.S. for college age students during the summer of their second academic year. These visas are for three months, and would include internships –most of which are paid – and housing with host families. CIP operates in eight cities throughout the U.S.: Cleveland, Ohio, Kalamazoo, Michigan, Chicago, Illinois, San Francisco, California, Denver, Colorado, Columbus, Ohio, Scranton, Pennsylvania and Morgantown, West Virginia.

Yes. We have some Swine Flu Guidelines.
It is always good to be prepared so we offer the following information in order to either avoid or contain the N1H1 (Swine Flu Virus). If we all practice good hygiene, health officials believe we can limit the spread of the virus. Please read and practice these precautions set forth by health officials:
Students and employees can come to school, as long as they are not sick and do not think they have flu symptoms. Flu-like symptoms include: fever (over 101 degrees F.), cough, sore throat, and runny nose. Additional symptoms may be experienced with swine flu, including muscle pain, fatigue, and sometimes vomiting or diarrhea.
Flu spreads easily. If you suspect you are getting the flu, it is important that you not attend school or go anywhere else such as group events, the mall-where other people would be exposed to flu germs. It is important to reduce the risk of getting the flu and protect others from infection.
Wash your hands often especially after using public transportation or using public items such as keyboards in computer labs etc. Washing with soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds.
Remember to keep your hands away from your face and avoid touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.
Cover coughs and sneezes with tissues or by coughing into the inside of your elbow. Cough or sneeze into your sleeve-not your hands!
If you are sick with the flu, below are some tips on how to take care of yourself and to keep others healthy.
Know the signs and symptoms of flu. Symptoms of flu include fever or chills and cough or sore throat. In addition, symptoms of flu can include runny nose, body aches, headache, tiredness, diarrhea, or vomiting.
Stay home or at your place of residence if you are sick for at least 24 hours after there is no longer a fever (100 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius) or signs of a fever (have chills, feel very warm, have a flushed appearance, or are sweating). This should be determined without the use of fever-reducing medications (any medicine that contains ibuprofen or acetaminophen). Staying away from others while sick can prevent others from getting sick too. Ask a roommate or friend to check up on you and to bring you food and supplies if needed.
Sick people should stay at home or in their residence, except to go to the health care provider’s office.
Drink plenty of clear fluids (such as water, broth, sports drinks, and electrolyte beverages for infants) to keep from becoming dehydrated.
Contact a healthcare provider right away if you are having difficulty breathing or are getting worse.
