you begin your appointment.
Your employee benefit options will include medical and dental insurance, life insurance, disability
insurance, and health care and dependent care spending accounts, and a retirement plan with either
TIAA or IPERS. Insurance coverage is available for you, your spouse or domestic partner, and your
children. You will be eligible for University of Iowa benefits on the first of the month following your

This position is classified as At-Will. At-Will status applies to a staff member whose administrative,
policy-making or other responsibilities make it inappropriate to confer career status upon them in the
position.
The University of Iowa is required by federal law to verify the identity and work authorization of all
new employees. Accordingly, this offer is contingent upon such verification. This offer is also
contingent upon the university’s verification of credentials and other information required by law
and/or University policies, including a criminal background check. In addition, a valid driver's license is
required for this position. Abiding by the rules and regulations by which we must conduct our athletics
programs is also a condition of employment.
We encourage you to contact your Human Resource Representative Karli Kirsch, at 319- 335-8881 or
[email protected] to discuss your needs if you are a person with a health condition or disability
and need assistance related to your new position.
Welcome to the University of Iowa. We are very excited that you have chosen to share your talents
with one of the best public universities in the country. As a member of the University community, you
become part of an exceptional institution rich in both tradition and opportunity. I am delighted to
have you join the university and look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
