Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day, retirement planning sessions, and wellness events are all the rage this month at Human Resources!
Thursday, April 25, 2019 Is Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work® Day
Pace University's Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work® Day is based upon the national campaign of the same name, which was created in 1993 by the Ms. Foundation. This special event gives children the opportunity to go to work with a parent instead of going to school for one day. Read on for more information as well as registration details, and see how you might be able to help!
