Dress For Success &
Dining Etiquette Dinner


The Dress for Success & Dining Etiquette Dinner is a special event that offers students the opportunity to learn how to properly dress, dine, and conduct themselves at a lunch or dinner business meeting.

This program provides students a dinner which prepares students on proper table manners and appropriate dinner etiquette, showcases appropriate dress attire and appearance for various professional settings, and educates students on proper conversational "small talk" with employers.

This event begins with a full course meal and an etiquette program which demonstrates proper table settings, dining techniques and skills, and conversational arts. Students learn how to enhance their existing business etiquette skills at the dining table, perform as an effective guest in dining situations, and make a positive impression understanding the nuances of dining.

The Dress for Success and Fashion Show segments follow the dinner and provide insight on the positive visual appearance strategies in the areas of business etiquette. The Gabelli School of Business' Dean, Nancy McCarthy, offers a "Dress for Success" presentation which advises the students on the proper attire to be worn for interviews, dress down days, casual days, and business corporate organizations. The Fashion Show segment visually demonstrates the "do's" and "dont's" on attire for different workplaces. At the end of the event is a free raffle that offers the opportunity to win gift certificates for designer suits.
