Part of the development of well-educated people is the manner in which they conduct themselves professionally. The more professionally you conduct yourself, the better prepared you will be to handle yourself in any situation.

The Career and Professional Development Center offers business etiquette dinners each semester. These are formal dinners where students have the opportunity to interact with peers, colleagues, and professionals in order to practice good business etiquette.
