Seventy-two seniors donned suits on a Sunday night to take advantage of a special five course dinner where the rules of the dining table were the main topic. From napkins to coffee, Chris Sowers, moderator and career advisor with the COC, introduced guidelines before each course. A special menu was created by co-sponser, Marriot Dining Services, and featured tomato bisque, mixed greens salad, chicken marsala with grilled mushrooms and wild rice, sauteed autumn vegetables and curator's chocolate layer cake. Students responded positively to the entire evening and the COC plans to host additional dinners in the future. Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Wendell Ogrosky provided generous support for this new educational program.
