difference of speaking style between different genders: men tended to speak more powerfully and tried to inspire their audience. the female speakers tended to try to appeal to people's emotions and were quieter. people present: actually fairly diverse. probably most students were at least lower middle class. some had money from their college for Power Shift, while others came on their own. lots of people were from the PA/northeast US area, though there were people from as far away as California. some knew more about environmentalism than others. workshops/panels: below is more specific information. in general, people seemed fairly interested. the workshops varied in the amount of interactiveness: some were more like lectures, while others had slight audience participation.

Effectiveness: more people talk if president leads rather than just talks
