Be honest. Haven't you had just a bit of frustration over this? My career and professional development office sent me a ton of diversity fair notifications, and basically nothing else.

I'm ready for the face paint.

Well at least that means he's diverse!

You are going to need it to get a job from Indiana, Verity.

Wow I knew you were a fool but this really verifies it Verity.

I wish I had gone

I really thought they were only for minorities. I hate myself.

I look like George from Seinfeld. What's my best bet for ethnicity?

while i won't get any cb's, i thought one thing you may have missed out on is really good practice for OCI. you definitely get a taste of what to expect.

idk, but George would definitely figure something out and go.

Perhaps this is true. . .but maybe not. A friend said she was going to one because being a female automatically makes her diverse. In its own way, I suppose that makes sense.

If you were a white guy would they just not allow you to come? Seems unlikely. I see no major reason why you couldn't just "crash" this sort of event.

You can always pretend you're LGBT.

was just the ping, no pong.

apparently one of the expected partners didn't show for any of the interviews, haha.

This is so unnecessary. Just go to the fair even as a straight white male. I've done it and the interviewer never asked me to my face how I'm diverse.

LGBTs. Religious minorities sometimes, too. I know a lot of Jewish guys who went (and interviewing to NY, where being Jewish is not diversity).

Interviewers don't care, though.
