Mark Dencler

Associate Professor Computer Technology

About

I started as a student at HCC and transferred to Towson University to earn a B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science. I was recruited from my part-time job at the HCC Learning Center to teach statistics and quickly transitioned from a professional tutor to adjunct instructor for the remainder of my graduate studies. After earning a M.S., I received a full-time position at HCC where I have provided instruction for software engineering and mathematics courses.
