An array of other factors—including location, size, and cost—must be considered. And new research highlights the importance of further expanding that list to include a college’s track record related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice.  \nRecent data published by the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges (ASCCC) found that campus community impacts student success by 44 percent. Students are more likely to thrive when they have access to people who understand and relate to them and when they can gain support from programs that value their culture and ideology. Including such factors in the college search process is imperative, and counselors playa critical role in guiding students and families as they weigh these important considerations.  \nFACTORS FOR STUDENTS TO CONSIDER  \nCounselors can tell students to research and gather information, but prospective applicants need to have a clear vision of what to look for when making the determination if diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is valued at a particular school.  \nIn 2021, almost every school has a mission statement that involves DEI and has multiple pictures plastered over their website that illustrate a diverse student body. To truly dive deep, students must look past the rhetoric and ask for data examining the success of BIPOC students, such as graduation rates. Data that shows faculty diversity, or lack thereof, can also be a strong indicator of a college’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. In school districts and universities  \nalike, faculty representation often reflects the student body and can also influence pedagogy and curriculum.  \nStacy Richardson, director of college counseling at Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School in Washington DC, advises her students to look closely at what’s available at each school on their list.“Is there a thriving community of students to whom you can relate? Do they have student organizations and administrative offices in place to support diverse students? Do they have a chief diversity officer? What are the issues students are passionate about? What is being said in the student newspaper and the local newspaper? What is the area that surrounds the campus like- are there places for you to explore and feel comfortable (restaurants, shops, etc.)? Can you be yourself and not worry about your safety?” Richardson said she asks her students. She also advises students to research whether there have been hate  \n36 THE JOURNAL OF COLLEGE ADMISSION  \ncrimes on campus, and if so, the repercussions and resolutions.  \nIn a recent issue of its quarterly publication, the Rostrum, the ASCCC outlined other factors to look for when researching colleges. Considerations include equity-minded organizations that BIPOC students can connect with, testimonials shared by current or former underrepresented students; scholarships and grants available for underrepresented students; and the presence of celebratory events for students on campus and online at the end of each academic semester. Less obvious aspects to inquire about are whether faculty and staff attend trainings focused on how to foster inclusivityon campus; whether there is a mentor program for immigrant, international, and refugee students; whether marketing materials are in multiple languages; whether the school has software that helps faculty learn to pronounce students’names correctly; and whether career planning workshops are offered in other languages.  \nHaving students and families speak directly with recent alumni who graduated from their high school can help applicants gain honest responses and a clear understanding of the type of support they will have access to, said Jamie Kim, director of college counseling at St. John’s School i","cbCaiuVwcBYdfUbQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuVwcBYdfUbQ","pdf",274780,"English","# Factors for Students to Consider\n## Acknowledging Issues and Embracing Transparency","[{\"question\":\"Why should DEI considerations be included in the college search process?\",\"answer\":\"New research highlights that broadening college lists to include DEI track records supports student success.
