<content:encoded><![CDATA[Contract negotiations between ProMedica and Medical Mutual, the medical insurance provider for UToledo employees, are still underway. While no agreement has been reached yet, both parties have agreed to bring in a third-party organization to verify the accuracy of cost data being shared throughout the negotiation process. This move is intended to help ensure a transparent and fact-based dialogue as talks continue.
As part of its negotiation strategy, ProMedica has begun sending direct communications, such as digital media, advertisements and/or letters, to consumers, including Medical Mutual members. These messages are intended to encourage consumers to pressure Medical Mutual into finalizing an agreement and are not necessarily reflective of any imminent resolution.
If ProMedica and Medical Mutual are unable to reach an agreement, ProMedica providers and facilities will still be covered, but classified as Tier 3 under the UToledo medical plans effective Jan. 1, 2026.
UToledo Health providers and facilities will remain in Tier 1, offering the best value in terms of both quality of care and cost. Employees are encouraged to continue using UToledo Health for their healthcare needs to maximize plan benefits.
A full breakdown of coverage tiers and provider options can be found in the <a href="https://www.utoledo.edu/open-enrollment/2026-medical.html">plan comparison chart</a>.
Human Resources will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as more information becomes available. If you have questions about your medical coverage or provider options, please contact a benefits representative. Live chat and scheduled virtual appointments are available at utoledo.edu/open-enrollment.
For those who have not yet completed open enrollment for 2026 benefits, employees may select their 2026 benefits through Friday, Oct. 31.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The University of Toledo is celebrating transfer students as part of National Transfer Student Week. 
Sahvaan Price spends her time at The University of Toledo connecting with the next generation of college students.
<div id="attachment_95369" style="width: 510px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-95369" class="wp-image-95369" src="https://news.utoledo.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Sahvaan-Price-MAIN-3H5A7036.jpg" alt="Inside portrait of UToledo business student Sahvaan Price." width="500" height="281" srcset="http://news.utoledo.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Sahvaan-Price-MAIN-3H5A7036.jpg 748w, http://news.utoledo.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Sahvaan-Price-MAIN-3H5A7036-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />After an extended gap year and time at Owens Community College, Sahvaan Price became a Rocket and found a campus community committed to her success.</div>
“I want to be that voice for kids that encourages them to seek higher education and do great things for themselves,” said Price, a senior studying information systems.
Price’s education, though, didn’t start on the traditional path.
After graduating from Bowsher High School, she planned to take a gap year, but that ultimately ended up being two years that included setbacks from COVID-19 and unforeseen debts.
Price said that she worked hard and paid off her remaining debt and began at Owens Community College in summer 2023 and then transferred to UToledo to join the John B. and Lillian E. Neff College of Business and Innovation.
“I just think that the community at UToledo is really good,” she said. “People want to see the best out of you.”
Price said she felt supported upon her arrival at UToledo, finding value in groups like Women in Business Leadership and Minority Professionals in Business (MPIB), where she holds the role of treasurer. She currently works in the Business Career Programs Office where she assists students gain internships and helps at the annual job fair.
“The one thing that I really learned from the job fair is to relax for interviews. Employers are not only learning about you, but you also want to learn if they are a good fit for you.”
The Business Career Programs Office assists business students to secure internships during their undergraduate and graduate careers and full-time placement upon graduation.
Craig Turner, program manager of the office, said that Price has been a tremendous asset.
“She has been helpful in coordinating our department events, such as mock interview day and the job fair — and she has taken an active role in assisting me with the Young Executive Scholars (Y.E.S.) Program,” Turner said. “She and some of the members of MPIB will be partnering with me to facilitate a career development workshop through mock interviews, resume writing, elevator pitch and more for the students in the Y.E.S. Program. This will be a valuable experience for them to connect with college students who can mentor and support them.”
The Y.E.S. Program is a collaboration between Neff College of Business and Jones Leadership Academy of Business that aims to cultivate the academic potential of underrepresented students, preparing them for success in higher education.
“MPIB and I attended the Y.E.S. retreat where we talked about our journey as college students,” Price said. “Then we have an upcoming retreat where we plan to do mock interviews with the high school students and give advice on their resumes. This has been a great opportunity to connect and help the next generation, which has been something I enjoy.”
In addition to her work in the Business Career Programs Office and the Y.E.S. Program, Price also has completed two internships: Spartan Chemical Co. in fall 2024 and Marathon Petroleum last summer.
“A lot of people talk about business value, but I wasn’t sure what it meant until my internships. I learned if it saves money and time and increases safety, you are creating business value,” Price said. “During my internship at Marathon, I took on a pretty big project that provided business value and the organization considered it to be a priority after that.”
Price said that she learned a lot about her future career path during her internship, information she learned through being empowered at UToledo.
Price plans to continue mentoring youth while she starts her career in information systems.
“After graduation I want to give back and help the younger kids,” said Price. “That’s why I like to take up any opportunity I can that involves helping the youth.”
Price said she is grateful for all the opportunities that UToledo has given her. She has a bright future ahead of her thanks to the support she’s received from the Business Career Programs Office and the hands-on skills she learned from her internships.
“I never would have imagined being in this position a few years ago.”

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The University of Toledo is preparing students for in-demand careers in the region’s glass and solar industry, as well as the state’s growing semiconductor industry, with a new undergraduate degree program in materials science.
Materials science is an interdisciplinary field that applies principles of chemistry and physics to understand how the structures of materials like glass, metals, polymers and more affect their properties. Materials scientists can manipulate these properties in the research, development and fabrication of countless products.
<div id="attachment_95411" style="width: 510px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-95411" class="wp-image-95411" src="https://news.utoledo.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Marissa-Shook-09302025-3513a.jpg" alt="Marissa Shook, a chemistry junior, works in a laboratory in Wolfe Hall." width="500" height="281" srcset="http://news.utoledo.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Marissa-Shook-09302025-3513a.jpg 748w, http://news.utoledo.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Marissa-Shook-09302025-3513a-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />Marissa Shook, a chemistry junior, works in a laboratory in Wolfe Hall.</div>
“Think of a smart phone,” said Dr. Nikolas Podraza, a professor and chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy who developed the program alongside Dr. Terry Bigioni, a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
“Everything in a smartphone has been designed for a specific function, from the semiconductors that power its chips to the touchscreen glass that’s designed to resist scratches and withstand day-to-day impacts. Materials scientists who understand exactly how individual properties of materials work are integral to the consumer products we use every day.”
UToledo is the first and only institution to offer a bachelor’s degree in <a href="https://www.utoledo.edu/programs/undergrad/materials-science/">materials science</a> in the northwest Ohio region. It leverages the unique strengths of UToledo’s College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics while equipping graduates to begin careers in a wide range of industries and at manufacturing powerhouses in Ohio and across the Midwest.
“Materials scientists are in high demand to support our region’s manufacturing industry, from legacy automotive leaders to innovators in glass and solar energy technology,” said Dr. Marc Seigar, dean of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. “With a strong academic foundation that encompasses our <a href="https://www.utoledo.edu/research/pvic/">Wright Center for Photovoltaics Innovation and Commercialization</a>, where student and faculty researchers are breaking ground in the research and development of thin-film photovoltaic technology, UToledo is well positioned to support this industry and the next generation of scientists who will advance it.”
<a href="https://news.utoledo.edu/index.php/07_01_2025/u-s-news-ranks-utoledo-among-2025-best-global-universities">U.S. News & World Report</a> recently ranked UToledo in the top quarter of global universities in materials science.
U.S. News also ranked UToledo No. 1 among all global universities for the percentage of total research publications that are among the top 1% most highly cited papers in the materials science category, in large part reflecting its innovative research out of the Wright Center that has been published in high-profile journals like <a href="https://news.utoledo.edu/index.php/11_30_2022/new-solar-cell-breaks-records-for-voltage">Nature</a>, <a href="https://news.utoledo.edu/index.php/02_16_2023/physicists-solve-durability-issue-in-next-generation-solar-cells">Science</a> and <a href="https://news.utoledo.edu/index.php/07_09_2024/utoledo-physicists-innovate-solution-extend-lifespan-of-perovskite-solar-cells">Joule</a>.
And as a leading academic partner in the <a href="https://news.utoledo.edu/index.php/07_01_2024/utoledo-contributes-solar-expertise-to-new-31m-northwest-ohio-glass-innovation-hub">Northwest Ohio Glass Innovation Hub</a>, a $31.3 million investment announced last year by the Ohio Department of Development, UToledo is also co-leading scientific research and preparing highly trained graduates to strengthen the region’s national leadership in glassmaking and solar energy technology.
The College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics has long offered materials science and related courses that explore the relationships between materials, properties and fabrication processes, and it more recently introduced four-course certificates in materials science for undergraduate students in 2024 and graduate students in 2025.
The new bachelor’s degree program builds on these offerings with an interdisciplinary curriculum that emphasizes chemistry, mathematics, physics and applications in courses offered by the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and the College of Engineering.
The curriculum also integrates experiential learning. In addition to laboratory intensive courses that introduce students to advanced instrumentation, students will earn credits for research or internship opportunities designed to reinforce and apply key classroom principles in cutting-edge academic or industry settings.
The degree program is designed so that students can specialize in a class of materials, prioritizing courses, research and internship opportunities that position them strongly for a career in their preferred industry.
It’s also designed to adapt and expand to the evolving needs of the job market.
“We expect that scientific breakthroughs and technological developments will continue to transform the field of materials science,” said Podraza, who is also the NEG Endowed Chair for Silicate Science at UToledo. “Our students will be graduating at the cutting edge of these advancements, ready to hit the ground running on their first day in the office, lab or production line.”
The program, which recently received state approval, is expected to enroll its first full cohort in fall 2026.The post <a href="http://news.utoledo.edu/index.php/10_21_2025/new-materials-science-degree-prepares-undergraduates-for-high-tech-manufacturing-careers">New Materials Science Degree Prepares Undergraduates for High-Tech Manufacturing Careers</a> first appeared on <a href="http://news.utoledo.edu">UToledo News</a>.]]></content:encoded>
