Professional Etiquette Dinners
Don't know a fork from a faux pas? Attend a Professional Etiquette Dinner to learn what it takes to make a great first impression and how to navigate through a formal dinner with style. Dinners are held each semester. Each meal is preceded by a networking session in which participants get to practice juggling hors d'oeuvres and punch while greeting people and carrying on conversation. Networking tips will be given during this part of the program.

During the meal, students learn the basics of proper dining, from use of the napkin, silverware, and glassware to what to do at the conclusion of the meal. During the three- or four-course meal, a member of the Career Center professional staff guides participants through the fine dining experience. 

This spring the Professional Etiquette Dinner will be held on Monday, March 24. The dinner begins at 5 p.m. and runs until about 7 p.m. 

Seating for each dinner is limited, so students must pay the $10 charge for the meal at the time of registration. To register, stop by the Career Center's main office, LU 220. Payments must be made by cash, check, or credit card in the Bursars Office in the basement of Lucina Hall, LU B31. Call the Career Center at 285-1522 for more information.
