Eileen Daily, Ph.D.
Information & Biography

Eileen Daily is an Assistant Professor of Theology at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota. 

Dr. Daily moved to Winona a couple of years ago after a lifetime in New England (BA College of the Holy Cross, 1980). After practicing law for 9 years (JD Suffolk University Law School, 1986) she entered a masters degree program in Pastoral Ministry and has never looked back (MA Boston College, 1997). Her doctoral studies in religion and education focused on using Christian art in religious education settings (PhD Boston College, Institute of Religious Education and Pastoral Ministry, 2001). She was an adjunct faculty member in the SMU Art Department during Fall 2002 and worked for some time as a development editor at Saint Mary's Press. She looks forward to allowing her interests in pastoral ministry and religious education to bring a practical edge to her teaching at SMU as an Assistant Professor of Theology.
