PKAL STEM Leadership Institute

Full submissions for the 2018 PKAL STEM Leadership Institute will soon be accepted. Be among the first to receive additional information about our submission process by indicating your Intent to Apply by Wednesday, January 17.

The Project Kaleidoscope STEM Leadership Institute is designed expressly for STEM faculty at the early to middle stages of their careers as educators, researchers, program directors, principal investigators, or department/college-level administrators. The five-day intensive professional development experience exposes participants to the theories and practices needed to effectively manage the politics of change and contribute to the national STEM higher education reform effort.

Nearly 60% of the Institute’s leadership curriculum is grounded in the major tenets of experiential learning, with exclusive access to My Tenure Trek™ (MTT)—higher education’s only diversity simulation designed especially for STEM faculty and administrators to provide real-time cultural immersion in a range of authentic interactions, situations, and conditions that mirror the influences of power and privilege in STEM higher education.

  • Who are tenured/tenure-track, as well as non-tenure track, adjunct, or fixed-term;
