Arthur L. Moore

Biography

Art Moore, who retired in 2013, joined the college in 1982 as assistant professor of mathematics. He led a team of inter-disciplinary faculty who initiated a program of study in computer science in the spring of 1984 and served as chair of the computer science program from 1984 to 1991.

In 1991, Moore was named director of computer services, which later became Information Technology Services. Over the next three years, he oversaw the implementation of the college’s first integrated administrative database. During this project, Moore also supervised the expansion of the college’s fledgling network, from the installation of an inter-building, fiber-optic backbone to the full-scale connection to the Internet. The expansion also included extension of the network into every permanent residence hall room on campus. He has continued active involvement in refinements to the network—voice over IP (VoIP) telecommunications and wireless connectivity—over the past several years.

As a member of the faculty, Moore remains active member of the computer science program. He advises students and has supervised a number of student internships in the computer science discipline. He currently serves as co-chair of the College’s ad hoc committee exploring the role of technology in the strategic planning process and is a continuing member of the Planning and Priorities Committee. He is also the faculty advisor of Centre Catholic Community.

Moore earned a B.S. with honors from the University of Florida and holds an M.Ed. from the same institution.
