Here goes a working example of reading CSV, instantiating Person object and printing.

# following the directory tree:
#   ./
#   ./tasks/main.rb
#   ./csv/department.csv
#
# csv file example
#
# name,surname,department
# John,Doe,IT
# Bill,Doe,IT
#
# running this code:
#   ruby tasks/main.rb
require 'csv'

class Person
  def initialize(name, surname, department)
    @name = name
    @surname = surname
    @department = department
  end

  def print_full_name
    puts "#{@name} #{@surname}"
  end
end

### main
filepath = "#{__dir__}/../csv/department.csv"
CSV.foreach(filepath, headers: true) do |row|
  person = Person.new(
    row["name"],
    row["surname"],
    row["department"]
  )

  person.print_full_name
end

Your code in the question wasn't written in ruby way. I recommend you to read this ruby styleguide to follow some practices on our community
