UC DAVIS: VICE CHANCELLOR -- ADMINISTRATION March 28, 2006 DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS RE: "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" (TODS) on April 27, 2006 Thursday, April 27 is national "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" (TODS) 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 2006 program is Shaping Our Future. At UC Davis, employees and their 8 to 12 year old guests 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. New for this year is an array of afternoon events coordinated by the Staff Work Life Program. These activities are open to all TODS participants ages 8 to 12 years and designed to supplement individual departmental offerings. Release time is appropriate with supervisory approval.
