Frequently Asked Questions

I thought this was Take our DAUGHTERS to Work Day - why Sons?

After 10 successful years of Take Our Daughters to Work, the Ms Foundation launched a new program to incorporate both boys and girls in 2003, with the theme of "A New Generation At Work".  Please see the Ms Foundations 's  Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work Day FAQ for detailed answers to this question. Since 2003, Carnegie Mellon's program incorporates both daughters and sons.

Lunch tickets will be available at the Information Desk in the University Center throughout registration.

Not at all! Your daughter or son may choose to attend any activity, the lunch or the tracks in any combination.

Is my daughter or son the right age to participate in the program? 

The tracks and activities are designed for girls and boys ages 9 to 15. When the children are not attending the free recreational time, lunch program or tracks, they will be spending the day shadowing you, meeting your co-workers and helping you with your work day.

Sorry, but no. We work to make each track as exciting as possible and know that not everyone will be interested in the same things. We are limited to the number of girls or boys we can place in a track, and the track presenters find rooms that can fit the number of guests and guides. If you're not sure what you want to attend, pick the track that has the session that you are most interested in. The other parts should be just as exciting!

If friends wish to attend tracks together, they should register together. If that's not possible, they should indicate that they wish to be placed with a friend (and make sure that friend also registers). Tracks fill up quickly, so please get your choices in early.
