Students visit M&T Tech Hub at Seneca One Tower
SEM computer science students recently participated in an exclusive tour and panel at the M&T Tech Hub located in Seneca One Tower. This Hub was created to draw technological talent to Buffalo and situate our city as a place for innovation and opportunity in computing. Its open concept design encourages collaboration between colleagues and revolutionizes the workplace.
Our students met with a panel of women in STEM at M&T, who shared their journeys in the field and advised the students on internships and beyond. We gained valuable encouragement and insights on the importance of diversity in STEM. The students were able to enjoy some of the amenities including the game room, and stunning views of downtown Buffalo.
SEM’s exclusive four-year computer science curriculum provided our students with the background and knowledge to ask informed questions to our panelists and consider internships with the company in the future.
Check out this video to see more of the students' visit!
