Stony Brook University received a $150 million donation Wednesday from Dr. James Simons, former chairman of the department of mathematics, and his wife Dr. Marilyn Simon, an alumna of the school. Also present at the event was Governor Andrew Cuomo, who revealed that an additional $35 million state grant would be donated to the school. University officials say that the funds will be used to build a new, state of the art medical research building, hire more faculty and staff, and make expansions to other departments.
