Developing the next generation of leaders is one of the most signifi cant investments your university can make. The PhD Project is an alliance of foundations, corporations, universities, and professional and academic organizations. We are dedicated to increasing diversity in the business world by creating opportunities for minority professors in front of the classroom to serve as role models for the next generation of minority business leaders. Since our inception in 1994, the number of minority business faculty in U.S. schools has more than tripled from just 294 to over 1,050 today. But our work is not done. Finding fewer than 25 African- American, Hispanic American and Native American Deans at non-HBCU business schools in the U.S., the need to focus on creating administrative diversity has become evident. Project AHEAD, Achieving Higher Education Administration Diversity, encourages tenured minority faculty to explore positions in administration. Become a part of this progressive program.
