Ademilola “Lola” Aderibigbe’s time at the University of South Florida was marked by academic growth, leadership, and real-world experience. Graduating in December 2024 with a bachelor’s degree in computer science engineering - information technology, she has turned her passion for cybersecurity into a full-time career.
“My time at USF has been an incredible journey of learning, growth, and opportunity,” Aderibigbe said. “From being part of the Judy Genshaft Honors College to studying abroad in London, every experience has shaped me into the person I am today.”

Aderibigbe earned several accolades during her time at USF, including the Genshaft/Greenbaum International Honors Study Scholarship, which allowed her to participate in the USF in London program. She also gained hands-on experience in cybersecurity research, working in the Cybercrime Interdisciplinary Behavioral Research Lab (CIBR) from March to December 2024.
In addition to her academic achievements, she collaborated on technical projects, including The AB Gam—a number-guessing game developed with classmates in a systems integration and architecture course.
“Graduating from USF is not just a personal achievement but a reflection of years of dedication and hard work,” she said. “I’m grateful for the opportunities and experiences that have shaped my journey.”
Now beginning her professional career, Aderibigbe is excited to apply her skills and continue growing in the field of cybersecurity. “I look forward to making an impact and contributing to the ever-evolving world of technology.”
