The MSU Alumni Association will host a day-long program celebrating women and diversity Thursday.

"Kaleidoscope: A Day for Women" will feature keynote speakers Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis, entertainers and social activists who met on Broadway in the 1946 production of "Jeb." Both have appeared in productions such as "A Raisin in the Sun" and "Roots."

The program will begin at 8 a.m. with registration and a continental breakfast to be followed by breakout sessions. A luncheon will be followed by a keynote speech from Dee and Davis that will begin at 1 p.m.

The program will be held Thursday at the Kellogg Center. The cost of registration is $70 for members of the MSU Alumni Association and $80 for nonmembers.
