Kind Words

“All the times that you spoke to our MBA students, I know their common first reaction was “what am I going to learn about etiquette that I don’t already know?” Surprise. Every time and pretty much everyone walked away practicing their newly learned skills. Throughout the semester they frequently referred to what they had learned. Just like the workers at the Four Seasons, they interacted and treated each other more like ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for adding some class to my class.”
– Robert Epstein

“Carey Sue is one of the best-received and popular presenters in Life After OU-A Survival Guide, a spring semester class for graduating seniors at the University of Oklahoma. She teaches segments on not only dining and social etiquette but also business etiquette. She has been a regular in the course since 2009. She is knowledgeable, practical, entertaining, and persuasive keeping the attention and interest of 150, no mean feat.”
– Peter G. Pierce, Instructor, University of Oklahoma.

Co-Teacher:  This year, one of our former students, Nora Price, will be joining us to share her experiences with the group. I am especially excited to welcome Nora back, as she has done an outstanding job navigating both the academic and social aspects of college life. Nora will be a senior this fall at Oklahoma State University, where she is majoring in Finance. She is an active member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority and has held several leadership positions within the organization. In addition, Nora has been involved with the President’s Leadership Council, served as an ambassador for the OSU Leadership Institution, and volunteers through Young Life, where she mentors a small group of middle school girls. Needless to say, Nora has gained valuable experiences both in and out of the classroom, and she will have so much insight and encouragement to share with our group. We are thrilled to have her join us this year!
