Thank you!
Thank you for participating in this year’s Take Your Child to Work Day! We
are so excited as this is our first year back in person for this amazing event! As of April 13 there are more than 400 people registered to attend this year’s event.
Compiled below is the finalized program of events and important documents that your unit will need for the Take Your Child to Work Day event.
Important to-do items for the day of the event - April 27, 2023
Post Your Pennant
You will be receiving a green felt pennant via campus mail within the next week. If you do not receive this by Mon, 4/24, please contact me directly (Rachel Perez, gonza243@msu.edu)
Post this pennant inside the building entrance to indicate that your attendees have found the right building for your unit’s activity/tour.
After the event, please follow the instructions included with your pennant envelope (and attached) to return the pennant to the WorkLife Office via campus mail (Linton Hall, 479 West Circle Drive, Suite 116)
Print and post the Directional Signage
These signs will help direct attendees to your unit’s activity/tour location. Print as many of each kind of arrow as you need. The sign can be printed in color or black ink.
Painters tape works great for posting signs to walls and doors.
Print and post the attached Attendance QR Code Flyer
Please ask attendees to scan the QR Code to mark their attendance to your event.
This is a quick 1 minute sign in option that is helpful for data tracking purposes, we ask for minimal information of the attendees.
Print and Post the Back Up Sign In Sheet
Please print several copies of this and have available at the beginning of your activity/tour location for attendees who do not have a smart phone or who would prefer to physically sign in, instead of using the above listed QR Code.
Please take a picture at the end of the day and email the sign in sheet to Rachel Perez at gonza243@msu.edu.
