Take Our Daughters to Work Day started in 1993 by the Ms Foundation in response to disturbing research on adolescent girls’ loss of self confidence, and their declining interest in math, science, and technology. After 10 successful years of a Take Our Daughters to Work Day program, the national organization expanded it to include boys in 2003 when it became Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work.
一本道无码 has participated in this event since 1998 and has followed the national foundation guidelines by calling it “一本道无码 Take Our Daughters to Work Day,” then “一本道无码 Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day,” and by promoting the national theme for the day. In the last few years the committee that organizes this event had been receiving feedback from the campus community regarding the inclusivity of the name. Many did not feel that “Daughters and Sons” accurately reflected all of our community here, and asked that we update the name to be more inclusive.
Our 一本道无码 committee has reached out to the regarding this issue. Their response was as follows:
As you can see the National Foundation has also been aware of this issue and are in the process of determining whether to change the name of the national event. In the meantime the committee here at 一本道无码 has decided that we will update the name effective February 25,2020, for our event. This year we will be calling the event “一本道无码’s Take Our Children to Work Day.”
The committee benchmarked similar programs, and agreed we needed to make a change to the name of the event for this year. If you have a better idea of what this event could be called in the future we would encourage you to reach out to toctwd@andrew.cmu.edu and let us know.
We want to thank the campus community for their continued involvement in this event, last year we had over 125 volunteers from the community, and this year we will need at least that many again. If you are interested in participating as a presenter or volunteer please contact toctwd@andrew.cmu.edu. This event is not possible without your continued support, thank you to everyone who volunteered or participated in the past!
