PBC Dinner Preparation: Information Session

The President's Business Council Annual Award (PBC) Dinner honors those who have achieved strides and distinction in their fields and who have showcased extraordinary consideration for others. This award dinner has become the University's leading fundraising event. As a student in the Business Leadership Honors Program, we are invited to the President’s Business Council Award Dinner, which takes place at The Pierre Hotel on Fifth Avenue in New York City. And, for such an incredible event, as expected, there are certain things students need to know.

First, it is a black-tie event, which means I get to wear my first gown since my high school prom (something I’m really looking forward to). Second, this can be used as a networking opportunity. This means we need to be prepared to meet and converse with many different people, and we need to have our resumes and business cards in hand, as well as prep some talking points. Finally, proper etiquette techniques are important to have and know (I had no idea what a salad fork was until I asked!). The PBC Dinner is something I’m looking forward to and I am happy to attend.
