Sister Mary Kenneth Keller, one of the first people in the United States to earn a Ph.D. in computer science, was instrumental in developing the BASIC programming language. Tirelessly working towards making computer science more accessible, she founded the computer science department at Clarke College. Her commitment to education and technology is remembered through scholarships and lectureships that promote inclusivity and innovation in tech education.
