Patrick Doolin
On April 5, Patrick Doolin received the Departmental Honors in Information Systems Award at the College of Business’ Honors Day.
Doolin was part of the outstanding students in the College of Business who were celebrated on Honors Day. He remarked, “I am very honored to receive the award and it is very nice to see that people are noticing the work that I have put into my degree. I plan to continue to strive to do better in my school work and professional work to keep improving.”
Doolin is pursuing a major in information systems with a focus in cybersecurity as well as a major in marketing, and is also a JUMP! program student pursuing a Master’s in cybersecurity. Speaking about his three years at the College of Business so far, he commended the faculty and staff, noting that they “Are truly always willing to help and I never feel like I can’t approach them.” He also mentioned that the coursework under the guidance of his professors has allowed him to gain much hands-on experience. “The information systems degree path is certainly a hidden gem at UAH (The University of Alabama in Huntsville), and any student in the program is lucky to be able to gain such useful skills in such a welcoming environment,” Doolin said.
Looking ahead, Doolin will look to apply his knowledge from his areas of study. This upcoming summer of 2022 he will intern at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency as a cybersecurity engineer, and as a Scholarship for Service recipient, he will work in a government cybersecurity position after graduating. He also intends to complete his Master’s in cybersecurity at UAH.
