The University of California—Irvine (UCI) says a $10.4 million donation from one of its “most successful alumni” will help it create a more inclusive computing field.

The gift from the Steckler Charitable Fund—formed by Vincent and Amanda Steckler—will also benefit art history students. About $5.4 million will be used to support students studying art history by funding research-related travel, mentoring, experiential learning, and more.
