After five

Ever wonder where your co-workers are headed at the end of the day? This Inside feature catches up with university employees "after five."

Name: Allison Tyler
By day, she's: Program assistant, Statistical Laboratory
After five, she's: Vice president, Ames Board of Education
Fate worse than finals: "When we try to make the best decisions on some really big issues, knowing that no matter what, someone is going to be angry."
Better than a 4.0: "Spending time with the kids and realizing that the decisions you make really do have an impact on their lives."
Best lesson learned: "To choose my words wisely."
