Venue: Fullerton Marriott at California State University

…the order and structure of a kaleidoscope comes from three mirrors held together in a perfect triangle. The surprise element comes from pieces and bits of colored glass allowed to freely move according to rotation. These three mirrors represent the structural parts of our lives that we cannot ignore to be happy. Traditionalists call them the body, soul, and spirit. Stephen Covey identifies them as living (which is answering the needs of the body), loving, learning (the attributes of the soul in the faculties of the emotions and intellect), and leaving a legacy (by the spirit which links us to eternity and posterity).
Pin Pin Chau, 1997
Kaleidoscope is a leadership institute designed to celebrate and enhance the achievements of women of color in higher education. Within the context and experiences of women of color, Kaleidoscope offers attendees a forum for:
- discussing issues facing leaders of educational institutions
- exploring the workplace challenges within higher education
- creating national networking and mentoring opportunities
- providing guidance and strategies for career planning.
- building skills for success
- increasing communication
Here, women of color who are currently succeeding in roles as presidents and CEOs share their professional and personal experiences relating to leadership and achievement. This Institute also prepares other participants for similar leadership positions by exploring issues in higher education and analyzing barriers that prevent different cultural groups from connecting. Kaleidoscope provides guidance on setting and achieving personal and professional goals.

Testimonials
Kaleidoscope has changed my life from the inside out. Being at a conference with women of color has been empowering and has exposed me to a world I have never witnessed. Thank you! ~D. Torres, Associate Dean
It has enforced the fact that women of color CAN excel in all aspects of education--especially in management and administration. ~D. Hurd, Division Chair/Faculty
This has been a transformational experience and I am more motivated than ever to achieve what I now embrace as my destiny. ~R. Hampton, Special Assistant to the Provost
It was just what I needed, when I needed it! Thank you for changing my life. I feel I can go out and face any challenges and come out on the other side. ~J. Cook, Associate Vice Chancellor of Workforce
This is the only leadership institute that expressed ideas I needed to hear about myself with immediate results. The best leadership institute I have ever attended! ~M. Berta, Title III Project Director
The Kaleidoscope experience has forever changed my life. I am beyond grateful to our esteemed faculty who give so freely of themselves and their time to pour into our lives. I commit myself to becoming the best leader I can be and to, in turn, bring along other women in the same manner. I owe at least that much to other women of color who have not and may not ever have this experience. ~S. Pierce, Assistant Director of Housing & Residence Life
Thank you for such a truly spiritual experience. I wish Kaleidoscope had many phases so that we could keep growing. I will return to my institution and my life a more confident woman with greater clarity about where I'm going and what I need to do to get there. ~M. Evans, Institutional Research Manager
