Funds going to AU’s cybersecurity department will benefit more than 10 degree paths for students to undertake.  The money will also be used for student scholarships and other strategic plan initiatives.

This donation comes as one of many contributions the family has made to the school in the past few years, which totaled more than $1 million last year.
