Understanding the Gender Gap: 10 Ways to Improve Outcomes

Adapting to the Demands of College Life

Male and female students face challenges in adapting to the demands of college life … but not necessarily the same challenges.

The things students typically struggle with differ substantially by gender.

What are those challenges … and how can you use gender-specific programming to help improve outcomes for all students? 

Find the answers in this seminar led by two respected voices in student affairs, Gar Kellom, Ph.D., and Linda Sax, Ph.D., as we look at the challenges most commonly impacting both men and women.

Those include, for men:

  • Academic engagement
  • Participation in co-curricular activities and events
  • Engagement in deeper sharing and reflection on learning

And for women:

  • Financial well-being
  • Family demands
  • Academic self-confidence

This seminar explores challenges faced by both genders, including faculty-student interaction and health & wellness issues.

In Understanding the Gender Gap: 10 Ways to Improve Outcomes, a content-rich, 90-minute video presentation, you’ll also learn how to:

  • Research gender-related questions on your campus.
  • Mitigate student struggles through student-affairs programming.
  • Win institutional support for improving practices.
