Bill Gates is headed back to college today. Six colleges to be precise — all top IT and engineering institutions across North America. It’s part of a three-day tour the Microsoft chairman and chief software architect is taking this week. The goal: To talk to students and faculty about leading-edge technologies and their potential to change the way people live and work, and to underscore the vital role of computer science in the world today and in the future. Gates’ itinerary includes the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor; the University of Wisconsin in Madison; New York City’s Columbia University; Princeton University in New Jersey; Howard University in Washington, D.C., and the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. He’ll visit two colleges per day. To learn more about the Oct. 12 – 14 tour, and what Gates and Microsoft hope to achieve by it, PressPass spoke to Kevin Schofield, general manager of strategy and communications at Microsoft Research, who is accompanying Gates in the halls of academia. | ||
