	en comprise an increasing majority of college students&151\;up to 57 p
	ercent nationwide&151\;the &147\;gender gap&148\; in higher education 
	has garnered renewed public interest. Unfortunately\, focusing on the 
	gender gap solely in terms of a zero-sum admissions game overlooks the
	 role that gender plays once students are enrolled. How do male and fe
	male college students differ from each other in terms of their backgro
	unds\, characteristics\, and dispositions And more importantly\, does 
	gender influence the way in which they experience college Do women and
	 men benefit equally from their engagement with the campus environment
	 Do interactions with peers and faculty have the same consequences for
	 both genders Are women and men affected in the same ways by their mem
	bership in student clubs\, participation in sports\, or exposure to ra
	cial\, ethnic\, or cultural diversity Despite decades of research on h
	ow students are affected by their college experiences&151\;research th
	at tends to focus on all students rather than subgroups of students&15
	1\;we actually know quite little about the answers to these questions.
	 In this presentation\, Dr. Linda Sax will share the results of a stud
	y that addressed each of these questions using longitudinal survey dat
	a on over 10\,000 women and 7\,000 men attending 200 colleges and univ
	ersities nationwide. The complete study is revealed in The Gender Gap 
	in College: Maximizing the Developmental Potential of Women and Men (2
