Heritage & Health Series Program

Celebrating Cultural Diversity

At Foothill, we celebrate and honor diversity through a series of cultural, community, and collaborative heritage month festivities from October through June. All students, faculty and staff are invited to participate in the heritage month planning committees and monthly activities. 

 

Student-Led Planning Committees

Each Heritage Month is planned by a different committee, comprised of student, faculty, staff and sometimes community member volunteers.

Students chair our heritage month planning committees, which meet to organize exciting events for the equity, education, empowerment and entertainment of the campus and community in an effort to increase communication, cultural competency, campus community, and retention.

• Students who serve as committee chairs are eligible to earn leadership units and documentation that can be used on college applications and resumes.
• Faculty and staff can earn PAA/PGA credit.
