Calling All Presenters: AAWCC Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day April 24, 2008


The MCC Chapter of the American Association for Women in Community Colleges (AAWCC) is once again sponsoring Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day on Thursday, April 24, 2008.  To make this event a success we will need you!  With your help, children attending the event will enjoy a full day of activities and informative presentations. 

Can we count on you to make a presentation?  Presentations are generally 50 minutes in length and run throughout the day (excluding the lunch hour).

The main objective of the event is to help our sons and daughters:

·  Connect their school work with the real world;

·  Share their vision, turning it into tomorrow’s reality;

·  Figure out how their future work, home, and community life fit together;

·  Explore a variety of job options and learn the types of things they like to do;

·  Learn about the work their parents, mentors, and/or other relatives conduct and its importance to the workplace;

·  Learn about the workplace—how it functions, its goals, mission, products and services;

·  Discover there are limitless opportunities available to them;

·  Build their self-esteem; and

·  Understand the importance of sharing power and possibility, and through working together they can build a more equitable world.

This year’s presentations should be based upon the theme:  Making Choices for a Better World.  Please see the attachment for detail regarding this theme.
