Royals Earn Commendations Abroad and at Home

This spring, University of Scranton students received awards internationally and at home. A team recently placed first among a field of international competitors in a cybercrime investigation challenge in Europe, and top student writers and researchers were honored with Bonnie W. Oldham Library Research Prizes.
Nine University of Scranton students participated in a study abroad program in Spain, which provided an exploration of the country’s criminal justice and security systems and admission into the 2025 White Hat Conference. This year’s conference theme — held June 9-11 at the University of León — was “AI, Cybercrime and Cyber Defense.”
The University’s first-place team was comprised of James Andres, a cybercrime and homeland security major from Surprise, Arizona; Michael O’Donnell, a cybercrime and homeland security major from Old Lyme, Connecticut; and Leah Schneider, a criminal justice major from Middle Village, New York.
