SGC Newsletters

The YU Career Strategist

VOLUME 3, ISSUE 13 • MARCH 20, 2023

Note from the Assistant Vice President and Executive Director

An internship with the Shevet Glaubach Center can be a productive opportunity for a graduate student pursuing a degree in higher education or counseling. Equally so, by hiring the intern for a year, the SGC profits by having an additional resource who can work with the student population on various aspects of their career preparation and journey.  

The SGC is fortunate to have two graduate interns, or Graduate Career Advisers, as we call them. Our two GCAs have been with us since September. They have been given the same responsibilities as a new career adviser and have become an integral part of our team.

In this issue of the Career Strategist, we show appreciation and thanks for Leah Bombach, a Fordham University student earning her Master of Science in Education in Mental Health Counseling, and Alexis Darmon, a student at the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology earning her Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling.  

Our students benefit from each interaction with the two GCAs as the empathy, thoughtfulness and insight these two women bring to our office are qualities all student-facing staff should possess. Whether they remain at Yeshiva University or pursue other goals, their experiences here have improved their ability to work with others in multiple and diverse capacities.

As you think about your summer internship or your first job, or something else further ahead in your career, consider opportunities that may not directly align with your major but can broaden your perspectives in ways that expand your chances of being hired in other fields. Thank you, Alexis and Leah, for all that you have given to our team and our students, and best of luck as you graduate from your respective programs and launch your careers.

Look Inside This Issue

Spotlight On

Sayanto Subrato Pal, a graduate student at the Katz School of Science and Health, is studying Biotechnology Management and Entrepreneurship. Originally from Mumbai, India, he received his undergraduate degree in Integrated M. Tech and Biotechnology from D Y Patil University.  

Sayanto has “always found it fascinating how biotechnology uses cellular and biomolecular processes to develop cutting-edge products and solutions to treat serious and rare illnesses and lessen our environmental impact.” As an undergraduate, Sayanto’s research paper about how the Lactobacillus species can absorb heavy metals and food dyes, which can be carcinogenic, was published in the Indian Journal of Environment Protection.

He can see himself working in lab jobs as well as corporate jobs, and believes it is important to keep his profile diversified, noting that “if I can understand how both professions work, I can eventually become a good connecting link wherever I end up.” At Yeshiva University, Sayanto works as a research assistant and is also vice president of the Graduate School Association.  

Sayanto appreciates how the SGC helped him “draft my résumé and write cover letters for each internship job I applied for.” After being selected for interviews, “they helped me prepare through one-on-one meetings and the AI (Big Interview) technology that gives you detailed feedback on your answers and helps you improve your answers.”
