PROGRAM:
Keith Gulley, Recruiting Manager for Enterprise Rent-A-Car and presenter for the evening, will share his insights on dining etiquette. He'll provide useful tips, give tricks to remember table setting placements, and talk about the best way to eat tricky foods with grace.
In addition to getting versed in dining etiquette, students will learn the importance of good manners in a business meal setting and why getting the details right makes a difference to an employer or a client.
"Whether it's an interview over lunch or a job review in the boss's office, one's attention to detail makes an immediate impression," says the Center's Executive Director Joe Lawless. "Teaching our students the finer points of dining etiquette equip them with one more tool to develop as socially responsible leaders."
The Center would like to thank the 2012 Etiquette Dinner Table Hosts who support this important event, including private donations from two Milgard School of Business board members. Representatives from these companies were at the dinner to meet and network with students.
