As a student, Mr. Cromly was an active member of Chi Sigma Iota. As a professional, he continues to serve the community through national presentations where he focused on the effectiveness of integrated mental health services in primary care setting. His commitment to the profession extends to contributing to the scientific literature. Mr. Cromly co-authored a paper published in a 2008 edition of the Journal of Mental Health Counseling. Mr. Cromly is actively engaged in our local community. He is current the co-chair of the Legal Aid of Northwest Ohio’s mental health subgroup where he works to obtain education accommodations for children with mental/emotional/behavioral disabilities.

CESP faculty, staff, and students wish to extend their congratulations to Aaron for his outstanding work in the field of counseling and for winning this prestigious award.
Other award winners at last week's AOCC included Carrie VanMeter who received the department's Doctoral Student of the Year Award and Melanie Long who was named Masters Student of the Year by the department. Be sure to congratulate both of these fine students as you encounter them in your classes.

Have a fever of 100 degrees or more and flu-like symptoms: a cough, sore throat, body aches, runny nose, diarrhea and vomiting?
If yes, do not go to class.
“The only way we can prevent the spread of the H1N1 flu is if people isolate themselves when they get sick,” said Dr. Jeffrey P. Gold, Health Science Campus provost, executive vice president for health affairs and dean of the College of Medicine. “If students get sick, they should stay home or in their residence hall rooms away from others until it’s been 24 to 48 hours since they’ve had a fever.”

Information Technology Department will begin the migration of students' email system from the current system to a new system starting August 10 through August 15, 2009. This new email system for students as announced by UT News and The Independent Collegian was chosen because of its great features and seamless integration with our current systems. This new email system, Microsoft Outlook Live@edu, comes with a rich set of productivity and collaboration tools and offers functionality that our current email system does not have. Also the new email system for students will provide over 20 times more mailbox capacity than currently given to students (students will get 10GB inbox and 20 MB attachments) and other collaborative services such as Instant Messaging, mobile alerts, mobile device synchronization, shared calendar and contacts, address book, optional and available 25GB online storage and other great features. All of these great features are accessible on Windows, Mac, and mobile devices. The new email system works with Windows Internet Explorer (IE), Firefox, Safari, Opera, and more on PC, Mac, and other platforms. Student will have access to this new email system through the university portal http://myut.utoledo.edu or directly through https://rockets.utoledo.edu. Because of the seamless integration to our systems, the password to the new email account will be the same as your UTAD user id password. The migration of current email system “Inbox” to the new email system “Inbox” will begin on August 10, 2009 in phases and will conclude by August 15, 2009. The student’s current mailbox (Inbox, Calendar, Contacts, etc.) on our current system will be available for access until September 30, 2009 and will be unavailable after September 30 due to system reconfiguration. During the migration period students may experience intermittent connectivity issues with email as the new mailbox is setup and the contents of their old mailbox inbox are migrated.
As UT migrates students’ email system they will also be adding a new email domain name - firstname.lastname@rockets.utoledo.edu to current email domain (firstname.lastname@utoledo.edu) for students. All returning and admitted students by September 30, 2009 will have both email addresses and will be able to use both; however, student use of firstname.lastname@utoledo.edu will only be valid for a few years.
