UC DAVIS: Vice Chancellor - Administration April 16, 2004 DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND CAMPUS/UCDHS ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS Re: "Take Our Daughters (and Sons) to Work Day" on April 22, 2004 Thursday, April 22 is national "Take Our Daughters (and Sons) to Work Day" when employers nationwide host children at their workplaces. Intended for girls and boys ages 8 to 12 years, the event introduces youth to the vast range of potential job opportunities and questions about how their future work will fit into their overall lives. After 10 years of sponsoring "Take Your Daughter to Work Day", The Ms. Foundation for Women launched Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work® in April 2003 to broaden the discussion about the competing challenges of work, family and community. The theme for the 2004 program is Today's Vision, Tomorrow's Reality. At UC Davis, employees and their children are encouraged to participate. Colleges, divisions, and departments are asked to respond positively to requests from campus staff and faculty for tours, demonstrations, job shadowing and the like for youth visiting campus that day. In addition, departments may wish to proactively organize activities for the youth of their employees and highlight examples where policy and practice have enabled faculty and staff to integrate and balance their professional and personal lives.
