2007 Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day

Each year, over 120 children visit campus to take part in Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, a national program initiated by the Ms. Foundation.

Children come with their parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, neighbors, and other important adults in their lives.

Children receive a special gift from WSU; this mentee is excited to find out what is in her Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work giveaway bag!

2007 participants enjoyed an interactive speech by Margaret Brosko of Channel 7, who talked about her career as a sportscaster.  She is pictured here (center) with (l-r) Dr. Lillie Howard, Senior Vice President for Curriculum and Instruction, Shaunté Russell, Women’s Center Program Assistant, Dr. David Hopkins, Wright State University President, and Amber Vlasnik, Women’s Center Director.

Students attend concurrent sessions that focus on career exploration in the sciences, business, technology, the arts, and many other fields.

30 high school-aged Girl Scouts visited campus during the 2007 Take Our Daughter and Sons to Work Day, engaging in special sessions to explore their college options and get acquainted to the WSU campus.

The Women’s Center is proud to coordinate Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.  The event exposes girls and boys to what the adults in their lives do during the work day and gives children an opportunity to share how they envision their future.
