2009 Marion Campus Giving Tree Project
The OSUM Psychology Club is again sponsoring the annual Marion Campus Giving Tree Project, in which we can all help needy families during the holiday season. The children are supported by Turning Point, Marion's domestic violence shelter, and need a special holiday.

You can see the trees in Morrill Hall, Maynard Hall, and the Library Building! They are up and ready.

If you would like to participate:

1) In the entrance to Morrill Hall, Maynard Hall, and the Library are Giving Trees decorated with paper ornaments, each containing the name of a boy or girl or mom, his or her age, and some appropriate gift suggestions.

2) Visit a Giving Tree and select an ornament with the name and age of a boy or girl or mom (and gift suggestions).

3) Purchase your gift and wrap it, with the paper ornament taped to the wrapping to identify it. (Consider going together with other people if it is a larger gift item.)

4) Bring your gift to the Career Center in Maynard Hall (room 124), or Faculty Services in Morrill Hall (room 150) and place it in the special box in hallway.

5) All gifts must be returned by 12 noon on Wednesday of Finals Week, December 9, 2009.

Participation is open to everyone interested (students, staff, faculty, community) in helping these families in our community.

Can’t Find a Parking Space?
Students have voiced frustration about finding parking spaces, especially on the west side of campus. The west side, or what students commonly refer to as the OSUM-side, includes student parking lots 1, 2, and 3. The east side of campus, widely referred to as the MTC-side, includes student parking lots 5, 6, and 7. Student lot 7, an unpaved lot located east of lots 5 & 6, was created this fall due to an expected increase in enrollment at both OSUM and MTC.

Many MTC students believe they are not allowed to park on the west side of campus; and many OSUM students think they are not allowed to park on the east side. THIS IS NOT TRUE. Students from both OSUM and MTC are permitted to park in ANY student parking lot. Registered students at MTC and OSUM are NOT permitted to park in visitor parking areas anywhere on campus - doing so may result in a citation.

Based on parking trends from this quarter, the west side of campus (Lots 1, 2 & 3) will likely fill up the quickest on any given day. Marion Campus Public Safety is recommending that students use parking lots 5, 6, or 7 if they are unable to locate a space on the west side of campus. Creating your own parking spaces, parking in visitor spaces, parking in the grass, or other unauthorized methods will likely result in a citation. For additional information about parking on the Marion Campus, please check out the following links: Marion Campus Public Safety - http://www.marion.ohio-state.edu/police/parking.html, or http://www.mtc.edu/Videos/Getting_To_Know_MTC/GTKMTC/index.html for a video illustration of student parking lot locations. Parking citations should be paid at the OSUM business office – Maynard Hall, Room 140 – within ten days of issuance. To appeal a citation, visit the Marion Campus Public Safety Office – Morrill Hall, Room 140.

Psychology Club "Horses for Therapy" Fieldtrip
Horses for Therapy? The OSUM Psychology Club will be going to meet Kirsten Stumpo and the horses from 'The Equine Component' (www.equinecomponent.com) on November 20th at 1:00 pm. Kirsten is an EGALA certified equine specialist who works with a certified therapist to incorporate her herd of horses into various forms of experiential therapy for clients. This includes clients with a wide variety of goals such as working on relationship problems (couples or families), parenting skills, communication/social skills, assertiveness, confidence building, and teamwork. She works with the court system, schools, women overcoming abuse, children experiencing problems at school or at home, families, couples, and companies (for teamwork and communication). All work done with the horses involves ground work and not riding. Horses are very adept at mirroring the client's body language so they are able to experientially see how they affect those around them. Come see the many other ways in which the horses 'tell' the therapist what is going on and how to proceed. Anyone interested is welcome to attend. Signup sheet is on Psychology Club Bulletin Board in Morrill Hall. Contact Dr. Pettijohn, club advisor, at pettijohn.1@osu.edu or Amy Figliuolo, club president, at figliuolo.1@buckeyemail.osu.edu for questions.
