Celebrated at Wright State University since 1993, Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day invited Wright State faculty and staff to bring their sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and other special children in their lives to campus.

After an opening session, children attended concurrent sessions that explored careers in the sciences, business, technology, arts and other fields during the April 1 event.

Each year over 200 mentors and children participate in this event.
