Working Better Together
On April 27, 2023, Iona University and its employees will participate in the annual Take Our Daughters
And Sons To Work® Day sponsored by the Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work Foundation. Iona
University and its employees invite their children, relatives, friends, and other sponsored students between
the ages of 6 and 12 to attend. The participants will engage in learning activities, which will guide and de-
velop them toward a future where they can participate fully in work, family, and community.
Each year a theme is chosen which reflects the decisions and actions every youth and adult can choose to
make the world a better place on a personal level, in the family, in the community, in the country, and in the
whole world. Through this year’s theme, Working Better Together, we want to inspire our youth to consider
how collaboration and cooperation skills will enhance their future careers. In addition, we can all share those
moments of discovery that lead us to choose specific careers, motivated us to make positive life changes and
moved us to be leaders in our communities. This will encourage our youth to dream big and work hard.
It is the intent that the employees of Iona University will serve as role models and will inspire the partici-
pants to strive to attain their full potential.
