“By the end of the conference first session, I knew this was it. I was so excited. I had found the people who understood me.”

Inform.

Educate.

Encourage.

You could influence the next generation of leaders.

Imagine what it’s like to devote your life, and your career to changing the face of corporate America. If you are of African-American, Hispanic American, or Native American descent and interested in pursuing a career as a business school professor, The PhD Project can guide you towards your new future—mentoring the next generation.

We are an alliance of foundations, corporations, universities, and professional and academic organizations. At our annual conference, held every November in Chicago, you’ll network with professors, doctoral program directors and doctoral students and gain program insights in 2

days that normally take months to acquire.
