The authors focus on programs that address their students' diverse needs, whether they are related to incorporating technology or allowing for the flexibility that adult students often necessitate.

Volume 2, Students, Mission, and Advocacy, considers the experiences and needs of immigrants, refugees, and international students who attend community colleges. The authors examine who community college ESL students are, how they fit into a college's overall mission, and the roles that their educators and advocates play.
