In observance of Pride month and the 50th Anniversary of Microsoft, join MOHAI to explore the collection of Ric Weiland—Microsoft’s employee No. 2.
As a high school student, Ric Weiland, and fellow students Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and Kent Evans, started a computer programming group at the private Lakeside School. He later joined Gates and Allen to create Microsoft and became the lead programmer for the company.
For many, it’s Weiland’s role as a philanthropist for which he is remembered. Nineteen years after his death, his impact is still felt across the tech industry and LGBTQ community. After he retired from Microsoft at age 35, he dedicated his life to philanthropy, primarily donating to organizations that supported the LGBTQ community and other local Seattle non-profits.
Join us at MOHAI June 14 – October 5 to explore the legacy Ric Weiland.
