YPA Career Café: Exploring Career Journeys

Join us for the next Career Café, a panel series on key aspects of professional growth, including self-awareness, goal setting, decision-making, and action. This session features two distinguished panelists: Thihan Padukkavidana, Therapeutic Medical Lead at Takeda Oncology, and Sam G. Samdani, External Advisor to McKinsey & Company and Consultant to Yale Provost's Office. They’ll share first-hand insights on diverse career paths in academia, government, industry and beyond, along with the challenges they’ve faced along the way. Bring your questions, engage in conversation, and connect over coffee and snacks (available for the first 40 attendees).
