The Faculty and Staff Engagement Team is excited to again partner with Fairfax, Mason Square, and Sci-Tech business units to offer diverse and robust programs for the Take Your Junior Patriot to Work event on Thursday, April 25, 2024.
The event aligns with the national “Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day” whose focus is to “expose children to what a parent or mentor does during the work day….showing them the value of their education, helping them discover the power and possibilities of work and family life, providing a chance to share how they envision the future, and allowing them to begin steps toward their goals in a hands-on and interactive environment.”
In order to engage with our Mason parents, guardians, and Junior Patriots, we are asking for your help in providing an interactive session during the event. Sessions can be focused on social interaction, career enhancement, guided learning, enhanced overall well-being (all dimensions of wellness), and so much more. Essentially, we are looking for business units to provide a sneak peek into their world at Mason and provide an opportunity for Junior Patriots to engage in that world.
Sessions should be offered on Thursday, April 25 between 9 a.m.-4 p.m. The length of the session is up to the unit’s discretion and availability.
The deadline to submit a session is Monday, March 18, at 9 a.m. This will allow our team time to finalize materials and promote out to the Mason community.
