BENTONVILLE -- Ground was broken Friday for a STEM-focused university at the site of the former Walmart Home Office. School officials also announced the institution's official name: the Bentonville Institute of Technology. "Bentonville Institute of Technology captures the essence of who we are: a technology-focused university rooted in one of the nation's most innovative communities," David Mazyck, the institute's president and founder, said in a news release about the groundbreaking and naming. "The name reflects our belief that the next generation of technological advances can emerge from the heartland of America through an institution rooted in education, collaboration and innovation. "STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math. In 2025, Steuart and Tom Walton announced a vision to reimagine STEM education through the founding of a new university in their hometown of Bentonville, the release states. Multiple members of the Walton family are supporting this vision, including Alice Walton through the Alice L. Walton Foundation. "Bentonville has a long history of turning bold ideas into real change," Tom Walton said in the release.

Charlie Vickers: ‘Tom Cruise cheated at freediving – that’s the headline’ - The Guardian
You once played Basil Fawlty in an amateur student production of Fawlty Towers at Queen’s College in Melbourne. How amateur was your Basil Fawlty moustache? It was terrible. It was real but it was definitely coloured in – I still have holes in my beard. I’d also shaved my head, so if you look at the early promo posters, you can clearly see I’m wearing a wig. Our theatre was closed so we had to perform in a circus tent in the middle of winter, on an oval in the university grounds, which was all very Fawlty Towers. I’ve always loved comedy. I didn’t really do anything serious until drama school. I always thought there might be a good spin-off with Sauron and Celebrimbor as an odd-couple situation. You play Sauron in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Tolkien wrote that Sauron “represents as near an approach to the wholly evil will as is possible”. What do you consider wholly evil? A complete disregard for the feelings and wellbeing of other people, to put it simply. It’s the intention, I think. I have horrible flashbacks to playing Aussie rules when I was about 17. I thought people were being quite evil to me at the time.
