Community colleges educate many traditionally underserved students, including students of color, first‐generation students, and low‐income students. This chapter discusses what we know about these students, how they have fared in college transitions, how educational pipeline and deficit models have helped or hindered their progress, and what community college educators should seek to understand about this diverse population of students.
