Parent Education Events

Each year Foothill brings some of the the very best experts in their field to  our campus for events designed especially parents. Some events are held live on campus, while others are offered on Zoom. Occasionally, they are multi-day events that involve both our students, and a public presentation, such as our visit from Denise Pope,  the founder of Stanford's Challenge Success. All events are free, and are often open to the public.  

Please Check Back for Coming Events!
