Metropolitan State University of Denver is participating in National Bring a Child to Work Day on April 25, and anyone who wishes to participate must RSVP by April 8.
The event is an opportunity for children to learn about MSU Denver and your work and to experience being a part of the Roadrunner community. Bring a Child to Work Day also helps empower youth and promotes curiosity through exploration of the workforce while exposing young people to the University’s academic programming.
Employees and their children are invited to participate. Those wanting to participate in the event(s) are asked to RSVP no later than April 8. Please note that some spaces have limited availability and space will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.
Arrival instructions
When you bring your child to work, visit Human Resources at the Jordan Student Success Building, Room 304, to receive a welcome packet and get your day started. Lunch will be on your own — consider visiting the Tivoli Brewery or Degree Restaurant.
