Mallett received a dual Interdisciplinary Humanities and Social Sciences Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, Riverside in 1991, specializing in Theatre Arts/Public Speaking and Creative Writing/Comparative Literatures and Languages (Speculative Fiction) under the direction of Pilgrim Award-winning author George E. Slusser. He also studied with authors like Eliud Martinez, Susan Straight, Stephen Minot, Harry Lawton, Lou Pedrotti, Stephanie Hammer, Gary Kern, Pulitzer Prize nominee Maurya Simon, actor/director Richard Russo, and Babylon 5 set designer John Iacovelli. Maulana Karenga, creator of Kwanzaa, was also his mentor for ethnic studies. Ever the overachiever, Mallett is in the process of returning to school to finish his Master of Library Information Sciences (MLIS) degree, and eventually hopes to get his MBA, MFA and PhD degrees.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“The proper aim of education is to promote significant learning. Significant learning entails development. Development means successively asking broader and deeper questions of the relationship between oneself and the world. This is as true for first graders as graduate students, for fledging artists as graying accountants.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
“Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
“The legislator should direct his attention above all to the education of youth; for the neglect of education does harm to the constitution. The citizen should be molded to suit the form of government under which he lives. For each government has a peculiar character which originally formed and which continues to preserve it. The character of democracy creates democracy, and the character of oligarchy creates oligarchy.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
