Dear #CEOJohnFurner & former #CEOKathrynMcLay now #WalmartStrategicAdvisor (https://www.linkedin.com/in/
Excited for #WUaSstoreWithinAstoreModel 'store within a store model' @WorldUnivAndSch @WUaSPress (#TwitterX) & a #WalmartWUaS collaboration re the #WorldUnivAndSchStoreName
I consulted with excellent mentor #JimSpohrerISSIP (MIT Physics BS & Yale PhD in CS - https://www.linkedin.com/in/
What is the best strategy for World University and School (WUaS) to develop and implement a "store within a store" model within Walmart, focusing on student outreach and initial collaboration?
... "Here is a useful way to think about this based on principles of service innovation, mentoring, and university‑industry collaboration. -
A strong strategy for WUaS would begin by identifying a clear, high‑trust entry point for collaboration that benefits both Walmart and students, much like the “give, get, grow” model often used in successful partnerships. WUaS could propose a pilot that focuses on mentoring, learning pathways, and community service opportunities—areas where industry partners often welcome low‑risk engagement. A small “store within a store” presence could function as an educational help desk or micro‑employment center, allowing Walmart employees and local students to learn about degree programs, apprenticeships, and service‑learning options. Early success would depend on demonstrating value to Walmart’s workforce‑development goals, similar to how strong university‑industry collaborations align incentives and reduce friction. Starting small, measuring what works, and gradually expanding would help build trust and create a sustainable long‑term partnership."
Kathryn McLay, All, how could World University and School WUaS Educational Services' Stores for books, computers, robotics, groceries, hospital technologies (and a related WM product line when WUaS develops in the remaining 181 countries out of ~200 countries) begin to develop with Walmart initially in just 2 or 3 of WM's 19 countries and in their main (non-English) languages, and for #WUaSoutreach to students too - for free #WUaSdegrees online from home, building on MIT OCW in 7 languages - https://opencw.aprende. org/courses/translated-

Kathryn McLay who is from Australia
Former WM CEO, now
Strategic Advisor, Walmart Inc.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/
"When I went into the Walmart San Leandro Hesperian Blvd Store to shop, and look for some security cameras to communicate with Walmart's CEOs, I found only the ones at the self-checkout ... and the picture of the people standing in line was grayed out ... and I read "We Prioritize Security' there around that time ... Might Walmart's AI somehow have read my texts in advance and grayed out the screen of its customers standing in line? Nevertheless, I spoke briefly to the grayed out security screen above the customer line, saying something like "Dear CEO John Furner, Kathryn McLay, and Chris Nichols, Greetings from World University and School and the WUaS Press, I posted 3 times to different LinkedIN profiles this morning in seeking to communicate with you further ... And who knows whether they got this message, but probably not in all likelihood even though WUaS is an incredible growth opportunity for WM, (especially re WUaS Stanford Mine Pi for all 7.9 billion people) ... and again I also wanted to add that it's mainly I think the WUaS Educational Services' Stores on the WUaS Corporation wing that I hope WM will help build out ... and with the WUaS Corp a for-profit general stock company legal entity in the state of California ... and even to help the WUaS Corp list or multi-list on some or many stock markets in many countries ... also that the Lego Spike Prime robotics' kit retails still for around $400 in the US ... and prospective students may be able to matriculate in to free WUaS for free degrees by working through its Lego Spike Prime Tutorial initially or similar and coding robots with the Scratch Programming language in the early semesters/ terms ...) ... And might I learn I can move into 670 Ridgecrest Canyon 94516 by the end of this week even - and to begin building out the WUaS Academic Medical Center coming into conversation with Igloo Vision and this Igloo Vision's surrounding or circular immersive environment in a room too - Igloo Vision - West Texas A&M University Immersive Learning - https://youtu.be/vBTucmayWZc (
And how best could Walmart begin to help build out the WUaS's IT platforms and with the Google I/O 2026 announcement that Google is working with Walmart and many other companies regarding the UCP Universal Commerce Protocol?
