Take Our Daughters & Sons to Work Day Registration Begins Today

Registration for this year's Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day (Thursday, April 26), sponsored by Staff Council, begins today (April 5) and runs through April 20. The event is for girls and boys between the ages of 9 and 15. “Building Opportunity” is this year's theme and the format has been updated. 

Following the lunch program, sessions will be held at 1:15 and 2:15 p.m.  For the first session, students can choose a “Mind” or “Body” session, featuring "MadScience," a Pittsburgh company specializing in fun educational science programs, and activities with the Athletics Department staff. The second session is a choice of “College Stations” with presenters from CMU's various academic programs. All sessions take place in the University Center.
