Microsoft Press Room, 11/1/1999 (Kristi Torgrimson, Ian Heisser, George Williams, Santiago Rodriguez, Pat Coleman, Chester Grice)

Microsoft, BDPA Reach Out to Minority Communities. When Kristi Torgrimson started participating in a computer training camp at Microsoft in preparation for a national high-school computer competition sponsored by Black Data Processing Associates (BDPA), she was a pretty quiet kid.
