Review

"This fascinating book is packed with innovative ideas and creative programs to reinvent and reinvigorate lifelong learning—from pre-college to post-retirement. Chapter 9 is about Sally Ride Science - UC San Diego, which was cofounded in 2001 by the late Sally Ride to inspire girls and boys to stick with their interests in science, become scientifically literate, and consider pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Sally is a wonderful example of a lifelong learner. From the time she was a little girl, Sally followed her interests and curiosity, always seeking to learn more and develop new skills in each of her endeavors—from tennis to physics; space exploration to science writing; and from teaching physics, conducting research, and mentoring grad students to starting and building a science education company. Whether formally or informally, she never stopped learning! Sally had an insatiable desire to be the best she could be at whatever she was involved in." 

Tam O'Shaughnessy - Co - founder, Sally Ride Science, Executive Director, Sally Ride Science at UC San Diego
"The disruption created by the pandemic has accentuated the constant need for new skills (STEM). This book is an inspiration on how to approach continuous education to ensure that opportunities created by disruption are equally distributed to all. We can all learn new skills, no matter our age, our background, or what side of the border we live in. Thank you, Ed, for being such advocate to providing access to education to the community and our neighbors"
Maritza Diaz, Chief Executive Officer, ITJ

"Ed Abeyta offers a beautiful reminder that education and learning are constants in life—and that in today's world, continuous and lifelong learning equate to continuous and lifelong growth. No matter what stage you might find yourself at in your career and educational journey, this book should most definitely be your pocket guide for the paths in front of you." 

Mark Cafferty, President and CEO, San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation

"I've always believed that learning shouldn't stop after formal education, and this book reaffirms that belief wholeheartedly. It's filled with inspiring stories, actionable advice, and effective techniques for cultivating a lifelong learning mindset. It's not just a book; it's a roadmap for personal and professional growth."
Todd Gloria, Mayor of San Diego
"Continuing education has swiftly ascended to the forefront of dialogues within higher education, emerging as a pivotal tool in bridging skill disparities, facilitating workforce development, and fostering equitable student achievement. In Dr. Abeyta's book, the significance of lifelong learning for both personal enrichment and societal progress is underscored, compelling educators, policymakers, and university administrators alike to engage with its insights. A requisite addition to the library of anyone invested in shaping the future of education." 

Eric A. Bullard, Dean, UCLA
