Ms. Lindhal has gone from her normal job in the College of Dentistry to making face shields. "Had I ever thought I would be temporarily reassigned to do something? No, I didn't see it coming," she said.
While Ms. Lindhal has been working in reassignment, many others are also working from home as they are able. UI released survey results about how that is going. These results show how things are going for College of Dentistry employees (survey responses and responses to open-ended questions). The full UI results were discussed in Iowa Now.
