Sat. April 28th: Harper College’s College & Career Expo

Harper College will be holding its second annual College and Career Expo this
Saturday from 9 AM to 1 PM at the Avanté Center on our main campus in Palatine.
This event is designed for elementary and middle school students to explore
different careers and inspire them to go to college. The hallways of our Avanté
Center will be packed with interactive displays and hands-on workshops conducted
not only by Harper faculty, but representatives from area companies such as
Northrop Grumman, Astellas, Segerdahl Group and Hoffman Estates Community Bank
(see the list below below.)

As you know, college
readiness begins early. We appreciate any help you can give us to get the
word out about this important event. I have attached flyers in both English and
Spanish. The event is free and open to all students and their parents.
Reservations are welcome, but not required. More information can be found at
