Welcome
Welcome to the Office of Instruction and Institutional Research at Foothill College. Our goal with our web site is to offer relevant and timely information on the areas under our jurisdiction: Articulation, College Skills (Basic Skills Initiative), Curriculum, Institutional Research, Program Planning, and Student Learning Outcomes and Assessment, with links to the academic divisions that report to us.
Along with our web site, beginning Fall 2008, we will send a monthly newsletter to all faculty, staff, and administrators, to increase our campus communication with the explicit commitment to clarity and transparency of process.
Your input and feedback is essential for improvement. Feel free to send suggestions to anyone in our office.
Thank You,
Duncan W. Graham
Interim Vice President of Instruction and Institutional Research
