The Daily Bulletin

This year's Bring Your Child to Work Day, an annual national event that is held on the fourth Thursday in April, is April 25. The national theme is "Inspire 2 Aspire," instilling a mindset that children can choose their own future. Children will experience many of the majors and programs that Buffalo State University's campus has to offer by engaging in hands-on, interactive activities hosted by our faculty and staff members.

In addition to many volunteers across campus, this event is made possible by generous funding from UUP and the Professional Staff Caucus. We are grateful to all who have contributed for their support, including Admissions, Student Success and Retention, and Exceptional Education. We welcome additional donations, so please reach out!

We will provide activities for three groups: kindergarten, grade 1, and grade 2; grades 3, 4, and 5; and grades 6, 7, and 8. Parents of children in the kindergarten through fifth-grade groups will be required to remain with their child for the day, 8:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. Parents of children in grades 6, 7, and 8 are welcome to stay (we appreciate the extra help) or may leave their children but must pick them up by 1:30 p.m. Parents are welcome to join us for lunch, beginning at 1:00 p.m.

The finalized schedule of campus activities will be forthcoming. We are planning to offer interactive and engaging hands-on STEM and other activities. Our day will begin and end in the Moore Complex lounge.

Space will be limited; once we reach capacity, further registrations will be placed on a waiting list and provided priority registration for next year's event. Registration will close Friday, March 29, or when we have reached capacity. Please let us know if you need to cancel, so that we may add children from our waiting list to the event.

Please register online.

Please email Kathy Doody, professor of exceptional education, with questions.
