The University of Florida plans an annual etiquette dinner to help students prepare for job interviews and meetings with professionals that take place over meals. The Chapter targets not only public relations students, but students campus-wide. Last year's etiquette dinner, featuring Paul Siddle, President of the Executive Protocol Group, drew more than 150 students. Chapter President Lisa Johnson said she is excited to continue the tradition this year with the Chapter's third annual etiquette dinner.
