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 8th Annual Dining for Success Etiquette Training for junior, senior and graduate students. The event, to be held at 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday, November 8, at the Pueblo Convention Center, 320 Central Main, will feature about 25 community leaders and 200 CSU-Pueblo students.
The event is open at no cost to CSU-Pueblo students for the first 200 students who register on a first-come, first-served basis. Students interested in participating in the dinner may call (719) 549-2142 for reservations. However a $25 “no-show” fee will be assessed to students who take the opportunity from another student by reserving a space but not attending.
The annual event prepares students for the professional world through a networking reception followed by a five-course meal 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 a professor and interim dean 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.
Community leaders will share their experiences with students and lessons learned.
The dinner is sponsored by CSU-Pueblo’s Career Center, Recreation Fee Board the Hasan School of Business, and the Pueblo Convention Center.
Professional business attire is required for students.
