Bill Gates—Co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation—visited The University of Texas campus to take part in the opening ceremonies of UT's new computer science building—The Bill & Melinda Gates Computer Science Complex and Dell Computer Science Hall, or GDC for short.
At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, UT President Bill Powers thanked Gates and the Dell family. Michael and Susan Dell could not attend the ceremony, but Zachary Dell spoke on behalf of the whole Dell family.
