About ISP
Your Global Journey Starts Here
At Foothill College, our mission goes beyond simply welcoming international students, we actively empower and advocate for you. We know that studying in a new country is a bold and exciting step, which is why the International Student Programs Office is dedicated to making Foothill your true home away from home.
Our Mission in Action
Our core mission is to champion your success from your first day to graduation. We fulfill this commitment through:
Dedicated Advocacy & Support:
We do more than just process paperwork; we actively advocate for our F-1 visa students. We provide comprehensive advising, orientation, and crucial updates on U.S. regulations to protect your status. Our team is your primary resource and advocate for navigating passports, visas, insurance, employment, travel, and academic matters.
Community Building & Cultural Exchange:
A key part of our mission is fostering an inclusive global campus. We organize events that allow you to explore new cultures, share your unique heritage, make lifelong friends, and engage in volunteer opportunities that enrich our community.
Your educational and personal goals are within reach, and you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. You are a highly valued member of our global community, and we are committed to inspiring, supporting, and advocating for you every step of the way.
