Colorado State University – Pueblo announces ‘Dining for Success Etiquette Training’
       
Pueblo- Which fork do I use? How do I butter a roll? What should I do with food that drops in my lap? The answers to these and other etiquette questions will be addressed at Colorado State University – Pueblo’s 6th Annual Dining for Success Etiquette Training for junior, senior and graduate students. The event, to be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, November 16, at the Pueblo Convention Center, 320 Central Main, will feature about 25 community leaders and 175 CSU-Pueblo students.

The annual event prepares students for the professional world through a networking reception followed by a dinner that will pair one or more community leaders with about seven students per table, and a presentation from this year’s guest speaker, Dr. Sue Hanks.

Dr. Hanks is the Faculty Chair and Professor in the Hasan School of Business. She is well versed in business ethics and dining etiquette, and she has particular expertise in educating students on the do’s and don’ts in business.

Dr. Hanks said that fear and lack of knowledge on etiquette should never hinder career growth.

“The image you convey through your behavior impacts your reputation,” Hanks said. “Life is a learning experience. Take advantage of each opportunity to improve yourself.”

Community leaders will serve as etiquette role models while discussing employers’ expectations and interviewing strategies with the students during dinner.

The dinner, which is sponsored by CSU-Pueblo’s Career Center, Recreation Fee Board and the Hasan School of Business, is free to CSU-Pueblo students.

Students interested in participating in the dinner may call (719) 549-2932 for reservations. Seating is limited, and reservations will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
