USA /// A Business Etiquette Seminar For Up To 40

Overview: In furthering our ethos of ‘Life Is Service’ – and to give back to our supportive business community – volunteer members of the Cornell Hotel Society will share their insights with your future leaders in a 90-minute session on how to best navigate today’s business etiquette protocols. While we are not Cornell professors, as professional subject matter experts, the world is our campus. We have done this for hundreds of undergraduate and MBA students and feel confident it can be relevant in the ‘real world’.

Target audience: Your organization’s summer interns & young professionals, alongside senior members who wish to use this opportunity to network with them.
