Mission Statement : Founded in 1996, RISE is a grass roots community based educational organization created for and by adults to afford them the opportunity for stimulation, enlightenment and interaction with peers in an environment which encourages life-long learning.
Goals: To attract people with varied talents who are willing to share as Presenters and thereby give individuals the opportunity to use their talents in a meaningful way. To provide diverse classes in a variety of curriculum areas reflecting the wishes of the membership. To encourage participation in leadership roles by as many of the members as is practical so that RISE truly represents all of the members. To offer forums for exchange of ideas and knowledge in a comfortable and friendly environment. To expand membership and member participation in RISE. To utilize state of art technology to improve RISE classes and administration of the organization.
We are saddened to announce the passing of Mike Dubin. Mike was born in New York City (Queens) and had a Master's Degree in Political Science and Government from Columbia University. He authored nine books on the Presidential Elections. He taught high school history for thirty years and retired to Sun City West. In 1996, he became a founding member of RISE, served on the Governing Council and taught until February 2016. His knowledge made history come alive for his student and his sense of humor made all his students laugh. We will miss him. A memorial service was held on June 15th in Sun City West. Donations can be made in Mike's memory to the Parkinson's Foundation or to RISE Learning for Life.
