Menard Hall hosted an all hall program tonight. It was a Business Etiquette dinner. It went over everything from how to walk into a room to how to eat soup to topics of conversation. This program was a lot of fun for many reasons. First, Elise Francis cooked us all a bunch of food so we didn’t have to eat cafeteria food. It was delicious!!!

We started with learning how to walk into a room, and how important it is to make eye contact and look nice. You can only make a first impression once and it is important in many situations to make a good one. We then moved on to handshakes and introductions. There were so many types of handshakes. We learned ways to fix wrong handshakes, such as cold hands or sweaty palms.

We then moved on to a formal meal and the different parts of it. We started with bread. To avoid crumbs you should break little pieces off and butter each individually. Then we moved onto soup and how you should spoon away from you and tap it on the back edge of the bowl to get rid of any drops that may spill onto you.

We went through the rest of the meal and ended with any questions we had. Overall it was a good experience and I would recommend that people go to an opportunity like this in the future if it prevents itself!!! I’m glad I went.
