Forty Appalachian State insurance students attended a Meal & Alcohol Etiquette dinner on the evening of Monday, February 20. The event was hosted by the Brantley Risk & Insurance Center to assist students in growing their skill set in this area to help students feel more comfortable at formal professional dinners as well as industry networking events where alcohol is served.
The event had three components: 1) Dining Etiquette, which was facilitated by Amy Odom, Executive Director of Business Career Services 2) Alcohol Etiquette, facilitated by Michael Odom, former AppState employee with numerous years' of experience in the food and wine industry, and 3) Industry Overview and Q&A with Michael Mitchell and Harrison Cameron of Risk Placement Services. The Brantley Center is thrilled for the opportunity to make this event possible again after a several year hiatus due to COVID, and is so appreciative to the facilitators for putting on such an excellent program for these soon-to-be industry leaders.
