MARY KENNETH KELLER

(First Person to Earn a Ph.D. in Computer Science in the United States)

In the United States, Mary Kenneth Keller became the first woman to receive a PhD in computer science in 1965. In Ohio, she had made vows to become a religious sister of the Roman Catholic faith. She then began working in the computer center at Dartmouth College. She developed the fundamental programming language. Sister Keller was aware that computers could make information available to everyone. "It's certainly obvious that information is of no use unless it's available," she stated. "We’re having an explosion of information, among other things. "She established the computing department at Clarke College in Iowa, which she led for twenty years. Her goal was to promote education and expand access to information. She worked tirelessly for the advancement of women in computing. The Keller Computer Center is the name given to Clarke College's computer center in her honor.

The method of converting computer code's zeros and ones into something more interesting and straightforward is called basic. 

The work that Xavier College Preparatory in Phoenix has been doing to increase the number of women participating in computer science, inspired by Sister Mary Kenneth Keller, has recently received recognition from the college board.
