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,

About Your Basic Employee Profile
As part of this project, our Marketing Team worked with our Omni CMS partner to create a basic profile for each employee —based on information pulled from the HR banner system.
To Start, Find and Review Your Profile
Find Your Profile on the Faculty and Staff Directory
GO TO the Faculty and Staff Directory page.
-
- SEARCH for your name in the Search Box.
- CLICK on your Name linked from the directory.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
What if my name is not linked or I cannot find my name on the directory list?
-
- 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).
NOTE: Student employees and TEAs are currently not listed on the directory listing.
