Bring Your Child to Work Day on Monday, Feb. 16
Share your workplace experience with your child.
You must fill out a separate registration form for each child by February 2.
We’re excited to launch Bring Your Child to Work Day! This is a wonderful opportunity to share your workplace experience with your child and give them a glimpse into your day-to-day activities. Children can shadow you at work throughout the day or participate in some of the pre-planned activities.
This is a new pilot initiative aligned with President Ward’s commitment to enhancing community and campus culture. It mirrors the national initiative aimed at aspiring future careers, boosting employee engagement, and reinforcing workplace and family values. Thank you to the planning team and all of the offices that offered to host events and activities.
