David Ishida’s journey to earning his bachelor’s degree in
Criminal Justice from Sacramento State’s College of Continuing
Education (CCE) is a testament to resilience, curiosity, and the
value of lifelong learning.
After first enrolling at Sacramento State in 1980, David’s
educational path was put on pause as he relocated to the Bay Area
for a career at FedEx. Over the course of 43 years, he built a
successful professional life. Now, with retirement behind him and
his children grown, David is returning to a goal he set decades
ago: completing his degree.
