How To Become A Polite Individual

Because college students get a bad reputation when it comes to chewing with our mouths closed, drinking like classy people and shaking hands instead of bumping fists, Fox Leadership is offering an etiquette class on December 2nd at 5 p.m. Topics include: building charisma (in a social setting, not on a frat dance floor), remembering names (which doesn't happen on frat dance floors) and building lasting relationships (once again, unfamiliar to frat party attendees). The best part seems to be the dinner that is included, where participants will learn to eat like upstanding and Ivy League educated individuals. Should you wish to attend, the invite and details are after the jump.
