The Career Services Center hosted its first workshop last night and the evening seemed to be a successful event full of handshakes, dialogue, and table graces.
Ms. Deborah Reynolds led the event in the Workforce Development Center Conference Room. The students were able to practice their table manners while dining with college instructors and administrators.
The room was transformed into an elegant dining hall with five large round tables as the focal point. Ms. Reynolds was able to use the sympodium and projector in the room to coach the students along using a Powerpoint presentation while they sat with their host and discussed the course in front of them.
The meal was prepared by Poppy's catering company, A Tavola!, which served Cream of Mushroom Soup and Salad to begin. Then Herb Roasted Chicken, Garlic Mashed Potatoes and a Vegetable Medley were followed by a tasty Bread Pudding. The students were able to experience proper dinnerware mechanics at each phase of the meal.
Acting as host of each table were several employees of the College who have had personal practice with dining etiquette. The hosts were as follows: Dr. Graham Hatcher, Dr. Fran Turner, Mrs. Concetta Odongo, Mr. Mike Fields, and Mr. Anderson Walker.
