Abstract	This study investigates the value ascribed to the counseling position in small New England community colleges. A sample of eleven community colleges throughout New England with current enrollment of 2,000 students or less was contacted. This survey tested the hypothesis that the position of counselor is vital to the everyday success of these institutions. A researcher-designed survey was used to collect information that addressed the role and importance of the position of counselor in these schools. Ten of the eleven of the institutions surveyed, all of which are accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges Commission (NEASC), responded. The results showed, through the overwhelmingly positive responses to the position of counselor, that the hypothesis was supported. Responses from this survey showed there is a genuine need for this position and the services that accompanies it. The administrators' replies explained the variety of responsibilities and duties that counselors provide. The study makes a case for the inclusion of counselors on the staff of small community colleges.
