Abstract: Social and professional networks affect individuals’ labor market outcomes, including career path choice, the propensity to find a job, and job match quality (Ioannides and Datcher Loury, 2004; Jackson, 2008; Loury, 2006). Prior research has documented that gender differences in professional network structure help explain men’s and women’s disparate career trajectories (Lindenlaub and Prummer, 2014; Zeltzer, 2020). In an effort to expand and equalize the networks available to students in their transition to the labor force, colleges and universities have increasingly adopted online student-alumni networking platforms.1 It is an open question whether equalizing network access for male and female students equalizes network usage.
