Update—Nov. 10:
Service helps UI employees advance in their careersBetween working at the University, finishing her degree, and taking care of her children, Natalie Potter didn’t have much time to research new job possibilities—let alone polish her résumé or practice for interviews. So Potter, a clerk in UI Human Resources at the time, met with a job coach in Career Development Advising, who helped her discover jobs she would qualify for at the University, reviewed her cover letter and electronic application, and gave her interviewing tips.

What a ride! At 30, Van Pool Service keeps picking up speed
Bernadette Yanda doesn’t like to drive. Wendy Stokesbary wanted to save 75 percent on her commuting costs. Dave Myers wanted to eliminate them all together. So today all three are among the 870-plus commuters participating in The University of Iowa’s Employee Van Pool Program as it celebrates its 30th year. The program, run by the University’s parking and transportation department, provides University-owned vans to groups of employees who live in the same community and work similar hours. With the exception of a few years in the early 2000s, the vanpool has grown steadily since it debuted in 1978 with four 12-passenger vans serving four nearby communities. Today, a fleet of 43 maxivans and 42 minivans serve 877 commuters in 34 communities.
