Emerita – Computer Science

Ms. Eileen Clark, an associate professor of Computer Science from Naperville, began her Benedictine career as an instructor of Mathematics in 1971 after earning a Master of Science in Statistics and Computer Science at Purdue University.

Clark was named the director of academic computing in 1981, coordinator of learning technologies in 1996 and professional development coordinator in 2000. During her Benedictine career, she taught everything from pre-calculus to web applications development.

She was considered the perfect person to teach other faculty how to utilize technology in the classroom.

“Eileen is calm, patient, caring, reassuring, encouraging, sympathetic and accessible … all traits that soothe those who become stressed out when it comes to technology,” Don Taylor said.
