Marshall University Career Services will have its biannual Etiquette Dinner, featuring etiquette consultant Terri Thompson, Tuesday, March 3.
During the four-course meal, Thompson will offer business etiquette tips for handling dinner-time interviews and networking events and will answer any questions students might have.
“This event is a real confidence booster for students,” said Debby Stoler, assistant director for development and outreach with Career Services. “Attending this dinner will help students feel more prepared if they are asked to dine with company executives, whether for an interview or a company event after they have been hired.”
All current Marshall students are encouraged to attend. However, juniors, seniors and grad students will be given preference. The dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. in room BE5 located in the basement of the Memorial Student Center. Doors open at 6 p.m. Professional dress is required.
Tickets must be picked up in advance at the Career Services Center. A $5 reservation fee is required but will be refunded at the dinner. Cancellations must be made within 72 hours of the event to receive a full refund.
Thompson has conducted this event at Marshall University for many years. She is an etiquette coach and reinvention expert who started the companies Etiquette in Action and Swizzle Stick Speaking.
