Hello there,
I'm a sophomore Industrial Engineering student of Indian origin doing my undergrad here in the US. I went to the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers conference last year with some hispanic friends and found the career fair to be very useful in securing interviews. I just found out that the NSBE is having a conference in Toronto which is 3 hour drive from where I live and might be a good idea to go.. However, I had a few questions and would appreciate it if you guys could answer them:
1) I am looking for a summer internship in banking/manufacturing but since this conference is being held in March end, do you think they will still be looking for summer interns?
2) I'm brown so while I could kinda mesh in the SHPE conference looks-wise, I'm not really sure if I'll stand out in the NSBE conference.. While standing out could be a good thing, would they look at it in a negative light that I'm "stealing" potential opportunities from black engineers or are they as laidback as they were in the SHPE conference?
3) Would you guys recommend I go considering I am not African American?
Thanks
