From Alisha Sinha:

My club, Women In STEM, has partnered with multiple clubs to invite experts and learn about the various challenges we face today and how we can participate in improving our future. The event is called Foothill Global Summit 2023 and with the theme of "Becoming Global Citizen," we will tackle many important issues such as global poverty, education, gender equality, climate change, and immigration. We anticipate that the relationships built on March 17th will continue and bear more fruits with further involvement from the students.

Here is the outline of the event.

Many wonderful guest speakers have gratefully accepted our invitation and we hope that we will be able to fill in the dining hall with students. This will be a great opportunity for students to not only learn but also to find out how we can engage in our community. We will be grateful if you can promote this event and if possible, offer extra credits for participating students.

2022-23 School Year SLI Paid Internships

Foothill College's Science Learning Institute (SLI) provides work-based learning opportunities for students during the school year.

2022-23 School Year Opportunities

The Foothill Science Learning Institute STEM Micro-Internship program is a paid opportunity ($1300 stipend) for Foothill College students to work closely with a mentor from a local higher education institution in a short-term, discrete research project for the winter quarter (January 9 - March 24, 2023). The goals of the micro-internship are as follows: Foothill College students will

  • Gain insight into what lab and institutional research entails.
  • Work closely with a mentor to explore academic and professional goals.
  • Gain research skills such as reading scientific articles, analyzing data, benchwork, and researching databases.

Mentors are recruited from local universities such as Stanford, San Jose State, and UC Santa Cruz and are graduate students, post doctorate fellows, and staff who have all made a commitment to mentor a student for a quarter (11 weeks), supporting them in a short-term research project that relates to their work.
