Welcome to the Kaleidoscope Leadership Institute!
...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.
