Cal State University San Marcos at Temecula Paul Goldring Garrett Institute for Higher Learning 27455 Tierra Alta Way, Suite B www.csusm.edu/el/temecula | (951) 676-9254 Higher education covers a lot of disciplines and can be very specific in some regards, but there are a couple qualities taught where the benefits transcend industries, disciplines, and cultures; these are leadership and critical thinking. Critical thinking is what is needed to provide businesses with the proper analyses to envision solutions; Leadership is a skill required in all business disciplines which allows a professional to embrace visions developed through critical thinking and interpret the direction to others resulting in the required outcomes. A good education takes some time, effort and expense, but there is absolutely no doubt of its worth. Linfield Christian School For 70 years, Linfield Christian School has existed to challenge young men and women: • To know Jesus Christ as Lord, • To love others as themselves, • To grow in knowledge and skill …in order that they may serve the Lord and the world through their character and leadership. Just as classical studies and contemporary thinking form a critical academic platform, God’s Word serves as a rudder and guiding light for all that we teach and do. Bible classes, prayer and chapel attendance are an integral part of the Linfield program. In addition to our academic advancements and program enhancements, our spiritual integration is of utmost importance. Not every school can lay claim to these strengths, nor is every school free to do this. We like to think of it as higher education in www.temecula.org | Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce

University of Redlands, School of Business, Inland Campuses As increasing prices and decreasing values dominate the headlines, control conversations, and impact everything about lifestyles today, there is little wonder that people of all backgrounds and economic situations begin to express doubt over their financial futures. For others who will survive the financial downturns, the unsettling times will cause some serious re-thinking of plans and priorities. One of the stabilizing forces that people have latched on to in boom times as well as bust, are those life-long benefits afforded by institutes of higher education. If a person wants to retain a skill, re-train on a discipline, or develop a new profession or career; the ability to acquire the formal education needed is readily available throughout Southern California. In the past, some students have reported that simply making the commitment to go back to school provides them with the necessary distraction from work, personal life, and economic conditions allowing them to focus on the future and re-think their priorities. It is not long before students realize how valuable and permanent a good education is to them. This understanding tends to allow them to put everything in perspective and to begin managing their lives instead of just living them. Another positive effect of higher education can be seen in a student’s family, co-workers, and friends. In other words, education tends to have such a far-reaching impact that it is one of the few investments that can impact an entire society in a positive way.
