Additional Information

Your child may wish to give his or her teacher or principal a letter (PDF) explaining the program. For more information about the national Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day program, visit http://www.daughtersandsonstowork.org/.

Also, WSU photographers will take promotional pictures at the main events and the concurrent sessions to document the festivities. If you do not wish your child to be photographed, please contact the Women's Center.

Sincerely,

Amber Vlasnik
