As holiday gatherings and professional events approach, now is the perfect time to sharpen your business meal etiquette. OGSPS’s new self-paced online training — curated by Anthony Cawdron, Purdue’s expert in event planning and etiquette — helps you navigate formal dining with confidence, from place settings to conversation tips.

Why it matters:

Business meals are often part of interviews, networking, and professional celebrations. Knowing proper etiquette — especially in a U.S. context — helps you make a strong impression and feel more at ease.
