Business etiquette seminar to be held on South Campus

Students can learn how to properly interact with potential employers, co-workers or clients by attending Business Etiquette, sponsored by Women in New Roles Oct. 2.

Armie Snarley, a certified etiquette consultant and entrepreneur, will discuss the importance of etiquette in the business environment and will also share skills that may be used immediately in one’s current position.

Triesha Light, South director of WINR, said Snarley is a good choice for this type of presentation.

“I invited Armie Snarley to make this presentation because she is a role model to our students in WINR,” she said. “Her topic is very timely and provides information about business and professional protocol issues in the world of work. As a speaker, she is riveting, engaging and educationally provocative.”

The Business Etiquette seminar will be 11:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m. in the SSTU Texas Room on South Campus. The presentation is open to the public.

“It brings the agencies together with our students to help highlight what their needs are and helps the students successfully meet them,” she said. “Volunteering is personally fulfilling for the student and great for the community.”

Honors students recognized on TR during reception

TR Campus students who have made the dean’s list and honor roll will be recognized at the campus Honors Reception.

Students honored in the ceremony can have TR Campus president Tahita Fulkerson sign their new certificates in person during the ceremony.

After the ceremony, students can sign a canvas that will be posted on campus, listing the names of all the honorees.

“To have other students see these signatures encourages them to commit to completion.“ Fulkerson said. “These signatures show that working hard will pay off, and it is worth it.“

Family and friends of the students are invited to the event, which will be 2:30-4 p.m. Oct. 5, in the Riverfront Café. Light refreshments will be served.
