Perhaps the most significant investment we can
make is in the development of future business leaders.
We all know the importance of a diverse workforce. Without it, our
ideas become singular and complacent. The PhD Project looks to
put an end to all that. We are an alliance of foundations, corporations, universities, and professional and academic organizations.
We are dedicated to increasing minority representation in the business world by creating opportunities to get minority professors up in
front of the classroom to serve as role models for the next generation
of minority business leaders.
This year, The PhD Project proudly celebrates 15 years of achievement. When we started in 1994, there were only 294 minority busi-
ness professors in the United States. Today, we are proud to report
that number has more than tripled to over 960 and is increasing
every day.
