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, corpora- tions, universities, and professional and academic organizations. We are dedicated to increasing minority representation in the busi- ness world by creating opportunities to get minority professors up in front of the classroom to serve as role models for the next genera- tion of minority business leaders.

This year, The PhD Project proudly celebrates 15 years of achieve- ment. 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 more than 950 and is increasing every day.
