DAS welcomes youths
-- DAS Office of Employee Services, August 2004

Making spreadsheets and imaging computers were all part of a day’s work for young visitors to DAS recently.

About 80 youths spent a full or partial day working alongside their parent or another DAS employee in their life when DAS held Bring Your Child to Work Day on Aug. 5. The children, who ranged from 9 to 15 years old, tackled a variety of tasks.
