Fri Jan 31, 12-05:30pm, W20
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Prereq: None
How do I ask for a date? Should I speak to strangers when riding in an elevator? At what point in an interview should I ask about salary range? Can I use my cell phone in a restaurant? Etiquette-related subjects will be taught in an informal, fun atmosphere at Charm School. No pre-registration is required; students are free to choose from the many topics offered. The most ambitious students may earn "charm credits" towards a formal Charm School degree. A Bachelor's degree is awarded for completing six subjects, a Master's for eight, and a Ph.D. for 12. Degrees will be awarded at the Charm School Commencement from 4:30-5:00 in the Student Center lobby. All members of the MIT community are encouraged to attend both the afternoon event and the Commencement ceremony. This year, we are excited to turn the Student Center into a real Charm School!
