Meet Bryn Rose

“The healthcare insurance is what convinced me to come here. I was getting frustrated with the high cost of insurance elsewhere and about to have my first kid. I had graduated with a bachelor’s from the U years ago, so I started looking into jobs here since I had heard the benefits were great for employees. I started at U Services three years ago, just before my son was born.

“I like that I work at an organization with a mission that I support that also offers excellent family benefits. The University has a huge pool of job opportunities, so there’s something here for everyone.”—Bryn Rose, Stores Specialist, Teamsters Local 320
