On April 28, Metropolitan State University of Denver is participating in National Bring Your Child to Work Day.
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 Your Child to Work Day also helps empower youth and promotes curiosity through exploration of the workforce.
“I’m looking forward to bringing Taylor, my daughter, to work with me,” said Stacy Dvergsdal, associate vice president of Human Resources. “She will get to see me in a professional environment and meet members of the HR team. It also provides us with a unique bonding experience and gives her exposure to the workplace and our University.”
Employees and their children are invited to participate in person or virtually. When you bring your child to work, visit Human Resources on the third floor of the Jordan Student Success Building to receive a welcome packet and get your day started, or download a packet from Human Resources (available soon).
