About 12345

My President's 12345 newsletter is a playful take on Foothill's unique address. Each week, 5 messages, initiatives, and/or events are highlighted. I hope we can partner—in thought, spirit, or location—to advance connection and community.

You can read the most current and past newsletters here that have been shared with Foothill employees by email.

Yours in service, 

Kristina
