his issue, Volume 10, Number 2, marks 10 years of publication of the Journal of College Counseling (JCC). Over this time, JCC has provided its readers with 20 issues containing more than 175 Research, Professional Issues, and Innovative Practice articles. The aim of these articles was to advance the college counseling knowledge base and positively affect the day-to-day work of counseling professionals on 2-and 4-year college and university campuses. JCC is now a mature scholarly journal and remains one of the only such publications with a strong, clear focus on college counseling. Receiving JCC is an important benefit of membership in the American College Counseling Association (ACCA), a member association of the American Counseling Association. The journal is widely read by professional counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, and others on campus and appears in important indexes, including Current Indexes in Journals in Education, Psychological Abstracts, PsycINFO, and Ulrich's Periodicals Directory. Just under 25% of submissions to JCC are accepted for publication. We use an efficient electronic submission and review process, and an author's wait time between manuscript acceptance and seeing his or her article in print is as short as possible.
This issue also marks a change in editors. Laura Hensley Choate of Louisiana State University has completed her tenure as JCC's fourth editor. Laura further advanced the journal's reputation. She emphasized careful writing and ensured that articles spoke to readers and offered clear implications for practice. I worked as Laura's associate editor, and I saw firsthand the energy, time, and commitment she brought to her leadership of the journal. She now turns to other scholarly work and to the demands of a growing family. I know the ACCA Executive Council and JCC's readers, authors, and editorial review board join me in thanking Laura for her leadership and hard work on the journal's behalf. Thanks to Laura, too, for her support and guidance during our editorial transition.

My background includes more than 20 years as a college counseling practitioner, researcher, and educator. I practiced college counseling at
