Caption: When graduate student and teaching assistant Aneesh Karve opened the classroom door on Oct. 12 and welcomed a "guest lecturer" into Computer Science 302, Introduction to Programming, the undergraduates in the class got a thrill of a lifetime. In walked Bill Gates, Microsoft chairman and chief software architect, to talk with the students about the promise of the technology. The surprise lecture was videotaped for a later segment on mtvU, a 24-hour college network.

Caption: Microsoft chairman and chief software architect Bill Gates is warmly welcomed by more than 200 undergraduates as he makes his way to the front of an audience at a student forum held Oct. 12 at Weeks Hall. As part of his 2005 College Tour, Gates talked about new breakthrough computer technologies that will influence the current college generation, and stayed for a question and answer session. UW-Madison was one of five universities selected for the Gates tour. First- and second-year undergraduates who had not yet declared majors, but have a strong interest in technology or biology careers, were chosen to experience the event.
