New Course
Humans and The Environment
This winter, Foothill offers the new four-unit BIOL 11: Humans & The Environment lecture course. The class is ideal for students who need to satisfy the life science general education requirement for the associate degree.
You will examine the science behind contemporary environmental issues, including biodiversity crisis, global warming, ozone depletion, history and implications of human population growth, resource management, and solutions for creating a sustainable planet.
“This course focuses on ecology for those who aren’t afraid to face global environmental problems and who are optimistic enough to think there are solutions that the average person can embrace,” says Biology Instructor Kathleen Duncan who will teach the course. “As global citizens, we’ll explore what we know and what we hope for future generations.”

Foothill Debuts Pilates Class
Classes offered at Main and Middlefield Campuses
If you’re ready for a change of pace in your workout, enroll in the new HP 32D: Pilates course offered this quarter at both the Foothill Main Campus in Los Altos Hills and Middlefield Campus in Palo Alto. Offered mornings and evenings, men and women of all fitness levels will benefit from this one-unit class.
Pilates has experienced a popularity surge and is now used by physical therapists for rehabilitation as well as people who are interested in toning muscles and improving posture, flexibility and balance for a more streamlined shape.
The course will emphasize the floor exercise component of Pilates training. By completing movements on floor mats, you will focus on connecting the mind and body, strengthening core muscles, increasing precision, implementing effective breathing techniques and improving mental health.
