Registration underway for WVU Medicine's Take Your Child to Work Day event

WVU Medicine is gearing up for its annual Take Your Child to Work Day event, which is set for Thursday, April 23, from 8:30 a.m. to noon at the Erickson Alumni Center.

The event is open to children of WVUH and UHA employees only. Representatives from various WVU Medicine departments will serve as role models for the children, speaking with them about different careers and encouraging them to "reach for the stars" when they are older.

Registration forms are now being accepted. Please note that registration forms are three pages and must be completed in their entirety. The deadline to register is April 11. Program organizers will be accepting the first 100 registrations on a first-come, first-served basis.

Parents may drop off their children from 7:30-8:30 a.m. and pick them up between 11:45 a.m.-noon. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided for the children. Parents are responsible for transportation to and from the Erickson Alumni Center.

Children may return to work with their parent for the remainder of the day, if the parent has approval from their director.

It is each parent’s responsibility to ensure that all required forms from their child’s school are completed. Minimum age to participate is six years old and the event is recommended for children up to age 12.

Please email completed registration forms to Hannah Campbell at hncampbell@wvumedicine.org.
