Bring Your Kids to Campus event 4/20/18

OSU Corvallis campus community members,

As a part of Oregon State’s commitment to supporting students and employees in pursuing balanced and fulfilling lives, the Family Resource Center on the Corvallis campus will host the 7th annual “Bring Your Kids to Campus” Day on Friday, April 20.

This event is a way to celebrate the importance of education and to highlight the campus as a family-friendly community where employees and students can share their workplace and studies and spend the day learning together with family members.

We realize that OSU employees live and work across the state. And while this date and the Corvallis campus may not be ideal or accessible for everyone, we feel it important to hold an event of this nature on a specific date and promote engagement by as many participants as possible. Meanwhile, we encourage all OSU offices throughout the state to consider their own opportunities for similar activities. For more ideas about such programs, e-mail [email protected].

Concerning the April 20 Corvallis event, we are asking for campus-wide collaboration. We encourage departments to have discussions ahead of time with employees and students, so that campus classrooms, workspaces, common areas, etc. can be inclusive and family-friendly. Lab spaces that may pose safety concerns should be excluded from the accessible workspaces.

If your department is interested in hosting a family-friendly activity next year, please contact the Family Resource Center at [email protected] or by calling 541-737-4906.  Any questions regarding this year’s event can be directed there as well.

We look forward to celebrating with you and your families on Friday, April 20. See you then!
