Local Indigenous and underrepresented students from the Science and Technology Entry Program (STEP) at UB enjoyed an up close and personal introduction to the whole gamut of health care careers on July 23 during the fourth annual Seventh Generation event at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. The term “Seventh Generation” refers to a Haudenosaunee philosophy based on the idea that people need to remember the last seven generations and the next seven.

Go behind the scenes for a tour of some of UB’s most unique labs and facilities on campus, where students and researchers are bringing ideas to life. From simulating extreme environments and earthquakes to testing the transportation technology of tomorrow, these spaces showcase the innovation happening every day at UB.
UB architecture students Alireza Borhani and Ada Rodriguez received the Emerging Interior Designer of the Year award at this year’s Paris Design Awards for “The Inhabitable Edge,” the final project they designed for Next-Gen Architect, a graduate studio in the School of Architecture and Planning led by adjunct instructor Randy Fernando. Instead of separating interior from exterior or architecture from furniture, “The Inhabitable Edge” proposes a continuous spatial system where human presence becomes the force that transforms architecture itself.
