MAIL CENTER CHANGES: Effective July 1, the university's Mail Center will operate under the auspices of the Department of Transportation. Although several changes will occur, the university community can still expect timely, efficient service. The university will partner with Central Mail at the University of Iowa to meter and process outgoing UNI mail. The U of I is partnering with PSI, a bulk mail presorting firm, to achieve postal savings for both universities. Mail will be picked up at the Mail Center by PSI twice each day, and taken to Iowa City for processing. The UNI Mail Center will continue to sort and deliver all incoming mail. Orientations are being scheduled for Wednesday, June 12 and Tuesday, June 18, from 9 to 10 a.m. in Royal Oak Room, Maucker Union each day.
