Etiquette
Dinners
You're right in the middle of an important interview with
five top managers from the company, and it's taking place
over dinner at a fancy restaurant. You feel something wedged
between your two front teeth. Should you attempt to discreetly
dislodge it with your fingernail, or a napkin, or perhaps,
a toothpick? Or, is it more appropriate to mutter "excuse
me" and head to the nearest restroom? Before you find
yourself in this or similar situations, make plans to attend
one of the four College of Business Etiquette Dinners offered
each year. For more information, contact Michele McGinnis
in the Student Services Center (BU 101) or email her at
mmcginnis@astate.edu.
