Developing the next generation of Diverse leaders is one of the most signifi cant investments your university can make. 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. When we started in 1994, there were only 294 minority business pro- fessors in the United States. Today, we are proud to report that number has more than tripled to more than 1,100 and is increasing every day. Participating universities illustrate a clear commitment to creating a di- verse academic environment and are able to recruit from our network of more than 1,400 minority faculty and doctoral students.
