Abstract	In keeping with a recommendation of the Commission on the Future of Community Colleges that students be informed about other peoples and cultures, Foothill College (FC) has implemented a number of programs with an international focus. These efforts include the following: (1) the F-1 Visa Program enabling students from other countries to remain in the United States until they complete their degree requirements; (2) the First Year Experience Guidance Program providing counseling and a 6-week, one-credit college orientation for international students; (3) FC's and the American Institute for Foreign Study's joint Campus Abroad Program, in which FC faculty teach credit courses to FC students at overseas locations; (4) intensive short-term programs conducted through sister schools in Japan offering instruction in survival skills, cross-cultural awareness, and the exchange of ideas; (5) the Business International Studies degree program for students and business people either considering or already working for multinational corporations; (6) a satellite Foothill Campus in Osaka, Japan, offering Japanese students English-as-a-Second-Language courses for FC credit to facilitate transfer to FC as full-time students; (7) the Japanese Cultural Center at FC promoting cross-cultural awareness through the sponsorship of public programs dealing with Japan and Japanese-U.S. relations; and (8) the international work exchange program providing yearly work internships for 230 California students and another 230 English-speaking European students. Brochures on the F-1 Visa International Student Program and FC's international programs are attached. (JMC)
