to swatishrestha, saumitra
Dear Swati, (& Saumitra), do you by any chance happen to know each other?
Greetings, Swati! It's a small interestingly-linked world! I just attended an online panel, moderated by Stanford Professor and Woodstock alumnus, Saumitra Jha, and then, after connecting on LinkedIn, and seeing he went to Woodstock School, I noticed on the Woodstock school site - https://www.woodstockschool.in/college-career-counselling/ - that you had gone to Reed, and were an Admissions' counselor there too. I went to Reed College as well, graduating in 1985. And in noticing too, that you're an admission's counselor now at the Woodstock School in India, -
Swati Shrestha, Head of College and Career Counselling
SWATI SHRESTHA, HEAD OF COLLEGE AND CAREER COUNSELLING
swatishrestha@woodstock.ac.in +91 135 263 9307 - Swati holds a B.A. in English, and a Certificate in College Counseling from UCLA Extension. She was an Assistant Dean of Admission at Reed College for four years and managed international admission. Swati is an International ACAC Inclusion, Access and Success Committee member.
- I'm writing to let you both know about the best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric World University and School, of which I'm the founder and its head. WUaS is seeking to matriculate our 2nd online undergraduate class for free-to-students' Bachelor degrees this autumn. Students would be studying from home, and taking potentially edX courses (from best STEM CC-4 OCW courses - https://ocw.mit.edu/ - into - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mitx-related-courseware/) on the edX platform.
WUaS would like to offer "Home Robotics" emerging from the idea of https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/experimental-study-group/es-293-lego-robotics-spring-2007/ - and potentially via the edX platform, for WUaS EECS, General Engineering, and General Science majors. You'll find our 6 planned CC-4 OCW Bachelor degree majors here - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - and in the WUaS course catalog -

In addition WUaS is somewhat informed by the Society of Friends (Quakers / Non-theist Friends), and is seeking to offer Ph.D., Law, M.D. and eventually IB high school degrees (too!), and online in creative ways with time. WUaS is also seeking to develop major online Universities offering these degrees in each of all ~200 countries' official / main languages, and wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,117 known living languages.
If you'd like to explore in an open vein some of this further. WUaS holds an open Monday at 10am Pacific Time WUaS Q & A, News and Livestream and I would happily invite you to join the live conversation via LIghtStream if you might have questions, ideas, thoughts or even suggestions you'd like to share - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdURAADdLc9ctxnbismtXzQ (accessible from
https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch).
I noticed too in Google Street picture that there's a medical college near Woodstock school, and I'd be interested in learning more about this. WUaS's online Medical Degrees 4 years out in English first, seeks to be fully online and in an online hospitals, for online clinical care, and even research, potentially collaborating with Stanford Medicine (and Stanford Law too for our Law Schools). Thanks to CC-4 best STEM OpenCourseWare in its 4 languages for the great beginnings of online Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees.
How might we best communicate further about this?
If you don't know each other, I'd like to e-introduce you here :)
Sincerely, Scott
