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.
