2014 Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day |
|
April 8, 2014, Volume 60, No. 29 |
On Thursday, April 24, Penn proudly celebrates Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, a unique opportunity for staff and faculty to share a career development experience with kids between 9 and 15 years old. Does a child in your life dream of becoming a detective, an engineer, a dog trainer or all of the above? Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day lets kids explore Penn’s diversity in your unit and beyond. Registration begins on Monday, April 14.
Generous hosts across campus, from Public Safety to Athletics to Information Systems and Computing to the Dental and Vet Schools, have collaborated with Human Resources to offer a variety of career-related programs for youth. In just one day, a child can cheer at the famous Penn Relays, go on a scavenger hunt through the Museum of Archeology and Anthropology and see how students use special manikins to practice the science of nursing.
You don’t have to be a parent or guardian to join the fun. As a sponsor, you can provide your young guest with a positive Penn experience by welcoming him or her into the University community and introducing the possibilities of higher education.
This year’s Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day schedule includes both limited and unlimited registration events. You may attend one limited registration activity and also go to as many unlimited registration activities as you like. For a list of events and registration information, visit www.hr.upenn.edu/myhr/worklife/family/kidstowork
Space is limited for certain events, so be sure to register in advance. If you plan to bring more than one child to an event, email qowl@hr.upenn.edu with the name of the event and the number of guests to secure your reservation. Please keep in mind that you must have your supervisor’s approval to participate and you must accompany your young guests to all activities.
Penn’s Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work celebration has something for every kid between 9 and 15 years old who wants to learn about great careers. For more information, visit the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day website at www.hr.upenn.edu/myhr/worklife/family/kidstowork
