When we started in 1994, there were only 294 minority business professors in the US. Today, thanks in great part to the generosity of our sponsors, there are 842 minority business professors and 380 minority doctoral students in the pipeline. And those numbers are increasing everyday. We all know the importance of diversity. 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 dedicated to increasing minority representation in the business world. By creating opportunities to get minority professors up in front of the classroom they will serve as role models for the next generations to come. To find out how your university, company or organization can make a noticeable contribution to increasing diversity in the academic and business worlds, contact Bernard J.
