Students are invited to attend a professional etiquette dinner, complete with a discussion on professional presence.  Learn how to introduce yourself, provide introductions, initiate conversation, and learn when and when not to eat.  Attending this event will provide you with a useful set of tools you can utilize in situations where your professional relationships are developed and strengthened in social settings.  You will gain knowledge on a variety of areas, including the do’s and don’ts of dining, conducting business in a social setting, how to excuse yourself from the table, how to manage eating difficult foods, farewells, and more!  At the etiquette dinner you will be guided through eating a challenging four course plated meal with fine china.

The etiquette dinner will be led by Judith Bowman, founder of Protocol Consultants International. Judith is one of the country’s leading authorities on corporate etiquette, international protocol, dining, networking, behavioral styles and presentation skills.
