Review & Edit Your Employee Profile

A New Employee Directory System for Foothill

On Monday, June 5, the Marketing Office moved to a new employee directory system.

Key Changes

  • We no longer update Foothill directory profiles in the old 3CMS directory, archived here for anyone who would like to reference their old profile content.
  • Instead, all employees are being provided a profile to edit using OmniCMS. See below how to get started editing your profile, including training and support schedule.
  • The schedule of classes faculty names now point to the new profiles, along with most instructional department website faculty and staff listings,

Missing link

    • If you are a NEW employee and your name is on the list but not linked, that means your profile still needs to be created. Please email websupport@fhda.edu with your name, job title, department, and date of hire.
    • If you are part-time faculty or a new employee and DO NOT find your name on the list, please email websupport@fhda.edu with your name, department, start date, and the quarter in which you last taught a class (if faculty).
