With an employer as big as MU, you’d think someone would be thinking about carpooling, in these pricey-gas times. Well, someone is. The Health Sciences HR Department has created U-Pool, a ride-sharing communication forum originally for MU Health Care clinical specialists, but open to all UM employees. Sign in with your Username, to see who’s carpooling from your town or your part of Columbia. Add your name and e-mail to the site to let others in your area know you may be interested in carpooling. There’s a space for your work start and end times, too, so you can ride with people with hours like yours. http://jobs.muhealth.org/upool.
