“Making Choices for a Better World” is the 2008 theme for Take Our Daughters & Sons to Work Day. The theme is broad in nature and encourages discussions among the participants because it is open to many interpretations on different levels by all segments of society: the individual, the family, groups, organizations, corporations - by everyone. The choices can be very personal ones such as whether to be self-motivated or not, whether to seek a good education or not, whether to vote, or whether to get involved in the community or not. By implementing this year's theme, girls and boys can begin to think critically about how the choices they and the people in their lives make and how those choices can lead to a better world.
With the assistance of the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), SUNY Fredonia has developed a program that will include workshops from the Leadership Corps and Multicultural Affairs. Additional sponsorship has been provided by: University Advancement, Alumni Affairs, Residence Life, Vice President for Administration, Student Affairs and FSA.
Our pizza party lunch program will begin at 12:00 in Café G, Williams Center with prizes and surprises.
