Microsoft Gets Brainy New Board Member: Maria Klawe (and Announces 13-Cent Dividend)

in News on March 9, 2009 at 2:54 pm PT

Maria Klawe, the president of Harvey Mudd College, has just been named as the 10th member of the Microsoft board. The company also announced a quarterly dividend of 13 cents per share, payable June 18, 2009, to shareholders of record on May 21, 2009. Klawe’s appointment is interesting. She is rather sharp–what a shock–according to her bio, which lists impressive credits as a computer scientist. More importantly, Klawe said she will try to get Microsoft to focus more on gender issues in the computing industry.
