About Professionalism in Europe
The "Professionalism in Europe" event series aims at familiarizing students with European business customs to better prepare them for careers in Europe. Each event focuses on a specific European country and features expert presentations on such topics as protocol, greetings, titles, networking, professional correspondence, attire, and table manners. Invited speakers commonly include a native professional who discusses professionalism and business culture differences; an etiquette expert who gives a presentation on dining customs; and a grad student (native or American grad student who lived in the selected country) who talks about cultural differences and offers advice to American students who will be traveling to the country of focus.
