Westminster College seniors will learn how to dress and dine for success at the Career Center's annual Etiquette Dinner/Style Show Tuesday, Feb. 19, at 6 p.m. in Russell Dining Hall.

 Dr. Cary Horvath, assistant professor of communication studies at Westminster, is the guest speaker, and will address "Etiquette at the Business Meal" prior to the formal meal and style show.

 Westminster's Career Center expects over 180 seniors to attend the event, which will feature 20 student models displaying business and casual clothing.  The clothing is provided by Liz Claiborne, Kaspar, Jones of New York, Joseph A. Bank, S&K Menswear, Rockport,  and 9 West from Prime Outlets, Grove City.

 "The purpose of the evening is to offer valuable insights into proper behavior when interviewing during a meal, and a look at the type of clothing that is appropriate in the workplace," according to Jackie Meade, director of the Westminster College Career Center.

 The Westminster College Career Center helps students, from first year through the senior year, make informed decisions about careers and majors through a variety of programs and resources.  Over 98% of Westminster graduates are employed or attending graduate school within a year of leaving campus.
