UO Kids on Campus Day

Mark your calendars! UO Kids on Campus Day will be held on Thursday, April 24, 2025.

UO Kids on Campus Day (formerly Take Our Children to Work Day) is designed to engage the UO community by providing an opportunity for employees to spend quality time with the kids in their lives and showcase their workplaces. For many years, the University of Oregon has participated in the national Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work® Day by hosting its own on-campus event. Collaborative partners from across the institution host experiences, opportunities, activities, and tours to highlight what it is like to be a part of the UO community. We are creating and holding space for UO families to meet and engage in a shared experience.

We aspire to inspire and empower the next generation through this immersive experience and opportunities that:

  • Encourage kids to stay curious about the world around them and to set ambitious goals for their future.
  • Expose kids to the power of higher education and help them understand the value of their education.
  • Provide hands-on learning opportunities that ignite curiosity, foster creativity, and allow kids to discover their unique interests and talents while having fun.

Children in grades 4 through 8 (or about 9-13 years old) are eligible to attend and must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Registration is required, along with completion of a Parent Permission and Liability Release Form. 

Supervisor approval is required to participate and is based on operational needs of the department.
