Grade II

Mary Kenneth Keller, B.V.M. (December 17, 1913 – January 10, 1985) was an American Catholic religious sister, educator and pioneer in computer science. She was one of the first people, and the first woman to earn a Ph.D. in computer science in the United States

 

Keller, named Evelyn Marie Keller at birth, was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on December 17, 1913, to John Adam Keller and Catherine Josephine (née Sullivan) Keller.  She entered the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1932,  and took her vows with that religious congregation in 1940.  She completed both her B.S. (Bachelor of Science) in Mathematics in 1943 and her M.S. (Master of Science) in Mathematics and Physics in 1953 from DePaul University in Chicago. Keller earned her Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1965.

 

Keller participated in a summer program for high school teachers at Dartmouth College in 1961 where she worked with Thomas Kurtz, the father of the BASIC language. She became a proficient teacher of BASIC and co-wrote a prominent textbook on the subject in 1973.

After completing her doctorate, Keller founded the computer science department at Clarke College, (now Clarke University) a women’s college at the time.  It was one of the first computer science departments at a small college. Clarke University now has the Keller Computer Center and Information Services, which is named after her, and provides computing and telecommunication support to Clarke University students, faculty and staff. 

Sister Mary Kenneth was a strong advocate for the involvement of women in the field of computer science, particularly given the growing demand for computer experts and “information specialists.” There were, and are, jobs to be had and she saw no reason why women would not play a significant role in advancing computer science. Keller’s students went on to become women pioneers in the field of computer technology, working as teachers, professors, cyber-security directors for major corporations and programmers for NASA (National Air and Space Administration)
