For applicants among freshmen living in Resident College, an opportunity to learn table manners was offered on Mar. 19 in the grand ballroom of the POSCO International Center. A group adding up to 100 students applied to build up their table etiquette especially when eating Western-style meals. Students were given basic lectures about reservations, rules of conduct and sophisticated ways of eating a course meal starting from an aperitif and soup to dessert.

After the lecture, their meals were served and they enjoyed the time of dining while exercising what they had learnt during the lecture. A student who participated commented, “What I have learned today will come handy in the future when having a formal dinner with professors or seniors. I enjoyed the meal very much.”

The mangager of banquets and Western dishes in the International Center who took charge of the sessions said, “This kind of event is special and rarely seen in other universities. We hope students relieve stress and have a relaxing campus life eating delicious food.”

This annual event for the newcomers started three years ago and it is still popular. This year, sessions are planned to be done three times-the first one on Mar.19, followed by ones in Mar. 24 and Mar. 29.
