Approximately 50 student employees working in the College of Agriculture and Human Sciences (CAHS) participated in a Workplace Etiquette Seminar on September 26th and 27th. Gail Long, Assistant Director for Staff Development and Special Projects and Laura Carson, Director for Compliance, Undergraduate Research and Student Success, spearheaded the seminar featuring topics on proper business etiquette including professional image, customer service, workplace communication, networking and required research trainings. Priscilla Johnson from PVAMU Career Services shared internship opportunities and the benefits of working with the Career Services Department. Kendall Woods, Network Manager with the Information Technology office, was also on hand to give an overview of the updated telephone system. How students present themselves to others in a business environment speaks volumes. This seminar equipped them with professional standards that will bring success and contentment in their careers.
The student employees work in various units of the CAHS including Academics, Extension and Research. This seminar was also a forum for the students to meet and network with other students whom they had not yet met in the College.
