Welcome new and returning students!

Whether you’re just beginning your college journey or continuing your path, Laurie reminds us that you belong here and that our entire community is dedicated to helping you succeed.

Foothill College’s Belonging Centers are thoughtfully designed spaces that foster inclusivity, support, and community for all students. The BIPOC Center provides a welcoming environment for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to connect, engage in cultural enrichment, and access resources tailored to their experiences. The Pride Center offers a safe haven for LGBTQ+ students, promoting acceptance and empowerment through various programs and advocacy efforts. Addressing essential needs, the Owls Nest serves as a hub for students facing food and housing insecurities, offering vital resources to ensure their well-being. Complementing these is the Wellness Lounge, a tranquil space where students can access mental health support and relaxation tools to enhance their overall wellness. Together, these centers embody Foothill College’s commitment to creating an environment where every student feels seen, supported, and valued.
