Join OGSA for a Dining Etiquette Session! Today, nearly half of all business transactions, including job interviews are conducted at the dining table; and there is no better, or possibly worse place to make an impression than at the table. Negotiating the minefield of place settings, table manners, and difficult foods while trying to hold a conversation can be stressful and challenging, but in our competitive, global business environment, polished dining skills are a must! This two-hour class will prepare you to dine with anyone, anywhere in the world.
Topics include: Table settings and how to read them; taking a seat, conversation, and posture at the table; the American and Continental styles of dining; how to correctly use your utensils–silverware savvy; the courses in a meal and how to eat them; the dos and don’ts of table manners; how to eat difficult foods; toasting etiquette; host and guest etiquette; and more.
Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian Meal Options available.

Please be aware and cautious of “scam calls.” A scam call is a malicious call with the intention of illegally acquiring money or personal information from you. These calls seems (this should be SEEM, no S) to be targeting especially international students. The caller may pretend to be from a government agency such as DHS, USCIS, IRS or your home country embassy. If you are not familiar with these types of calls, it can be very alarming and scary to receive one. If you receive a call demanding personal information or payments, hang up immediately.
Remember, government officials will never threaten you or ask you for payment over the phone or in an email.
