The Spirit of Diversity job fair is designed to connect newspaper recruiters with African American, Hispanic, Asian-American and Native American job candidates. Most of the job seekers are college students seeking internships and newer professionals seeking full-time jobs. The Spirit of Diversity has been held annually since 1993. It is hosted by the Detroit Free Press, The Detroit News and Detroit Newspapers. Hotel accommodations for one night are provided for students who live more than 75 miles from Detroit.
