Our Commitment to diversity is pretty impressive. The PhD Project Sponsors KPMG Foundation Graduate Management Admission Council Participating Universities The Citigroup Foundation Ford Motor Company DaimlerChrysler Corporation Fund James S. Kemper Foundation Abbott Laboratories Robert K. Elliott Fannie Mae Foundation Merrill Lynch & Co. Foundation, Inc. AICPA Bristol Myers-Squibb JP Morgan Chase Vivendi Universal Pfizer, Inc. State Street Corporation Union Carbide Foundation Alcoa Foundation AACSB International Motorola Foundation The PhD Project is a broad-reaching program designed to change the face of American academia and business. Supported by many of America's leading corporations and business schools, this unique initiative is working to increase minority representation in business schools, while better preparing tomorrow's business professionals for the diverse environments they will encounter upon entering corporate life. The premise is simple: The PhD Project recruits and encourages African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans and Native Americans to leave their jobs in corporate America and pursue Ph.D.s. When they ultimately become business school professors, they'll be mentors and role models for future generations of minorities. In just eight years, The PhD Project has enjoyed phe- nomenal success. Due, in part, to the Project and its related programs, there are currently more minority doctoral students than there are minority professors — faculty that took decades to create! We invite you to share our common goal of a more diverse academic and corporate world. Visit our website at www.phdproject.org for more information.
