Mission and Vision

Our Mission

Research shows that women, people with disabilities, and people from historically marginalized communities are underrepresented in STEM courses, STEM majors, and STEM-related companies. 

Our Vision

SLI's vision includes the following outcomes:

• The number of STEM students from underrepresented groups at Foothill College increases through the programming of SLI.
• STEM students leave Foothill College prepared for college and the workforce with the skills and experiences they have gained.
• Local companies and institutions look to Foothill College when recruiting students with a STEM background.
