Etiquette Receptions

Dinner Plate

Interviews, meetings, and social events in the business world often involve formal dinners with unique etiquette conventions. As important as these events may be, students rarely receive formal training in mundane but important issues such as the proper use of special utensils, navigating nourishment gracefully from plate to mouth, and how to maintain appropriate and engaging conversation -- including selling yourself to a prospective employer -- at the dinner table.

The Office of University Alumni Relations hosts
"etiquette receptions" throughout the year to help students feel more comfortable with the mechanics and protocol of power lunches and business dinners. Students dress in formal business attire for the events. Alumni volunteers serve as table hosts, while an etiquette professional offers guidance throughout the meal.
