Last week, Harker’s CareerConnect club hosted a speaker event featuring Atit Jariwala, an entrepreneur in real estate, Yale graduate, and Harker parent, who spoke with upper school students about his journey into the business world. He presented engaging stories about his experiences and insight on new developments in the market, especially artificial intelligence. More than 50 students attended the talk, enjoying treats such as chocolate-covered strawberries and French pastries, which have becom a staple at CareerConnect C-Sweets events. Bazigh Tahirzad, grade 9, said, “I liked how the speaker was connected with the audience. I also liked how experienced Atit was.”
