The purpose of this event is to help students learn valuable lessons in the social graces. Once students graduate, they are expected to know how to act in formal situations, such as business dinners and social functions. This annual event provides them with the tools needed to conduct themselves as well-rounded professionals. SOM students learned about the rules of etiquette, from cell phone courtesy to punctuality to what to do with a napkin when leaving the table.
After a presentation by Daniel Mitchell of KPMG and a Q&A with the panel, professionals and students headed over to Lavelle鈥檚 Bistro where students were able to practice their newly-learned skills at a formal dinner.
