Patty Dooley '23 is not your typical undergraduate student. Though graduating with her bachelor's degree in nuclear engineering from Rensselaer this month, Dooley has already earned several degrees in a range of disciplines from other universities, including a bachelor's degree, two master's degrees, and a Ph.D. The quantity and diversity of her degrees reflects her commitment to lifelong learning and excellence — qualities that were instilled in her throughout her 30-year career in the U.S. Army.
