Wide shot of the Center for the Arts filled with people viewing posters on stands at the 2025 Chemical & Biological Engineering Graduate Research Symposium. The posters line both sides of the hall. People are standing in small groups, engaged in discussions. The students in the Industry Titan SRMU Exhibit group, whose poster won first place in this 2023 MAE Poster Competition, stands in front of their project. Presenters include Thomas Blum, Alaina Herman, Jacob Landerer, and others. Flags hang on the wall behind them. Outdoors, a yellow Boston Dynamics robot dog, also known as Yubie, stands before a blue table promoting "University at Buffalo Tutoring and Academic Support Services." People gather around and observe the display. A group of 11 people stands near the main entrance to the Center for the Arts, striking the "horns up" pose at 2025 Chemical & Biological Engineering Graduate Research Symposium. Most are in business attire—suits and blazers.
