Histoire administrative
Kaleidoscope presents poetry, essays, short stories, and photographs which have a multicultural theme and are created by students, faculty, and staff at St. Cloud State University.
The first issue of Kaleidoscope was published in 1990. In the staff notes of the first issue it states:
The staff of the Write Place is pleased to present Kaleidoscope, a collection of student essays, short stories, and poems which highlight and celebrate multicultural experiences. Writing included in this collection has been authored by undergraduate and graduate students from African-American, African, American Indian, Palestinian Arab, Japanese, Chinese, South Korean, and rural Minnesota cultures. We hope that reading these student contributions will foster communication among cultural groups within the university, help students to understand their own experiences and those of others, and enrich all of our experiences. We also hope that faculty will share this collection with their students in the classroom.
The website has many past issues available, beginning with Volume 1 from 1990, up to Volume 8 from the 1997-1998. The magazine first appeared online in 1996. All issues will eventually be available both online and in print format.
