“ I can honestly say that I probably would not have made it through my program had it not been for the advice and counsel I received from the Project’s administrators, mentors, and friends.”


Inform. Educate. Encourage.


You could infl uence the next generation of leaders.


“The PhD Project was fundamental in my development as a doctoral student. The organization gave me an opportunity to meet many accomplished academics, and the friends I made provided me with the encouragement I needed to successfully complete my studies. I equate attending the yearly DSA to a religious revival, as I would leave inspired and motivated to continue. I can honestly say that I probably would not have made it through my program had it not been for the advice and counsel I received from the Project’s administrators, mentors, and friends.”


Imagine what it’s like to devote your life, and your career to changing the face of cor- porate America. If you are of African-American, Hispanic American, or Native American descent and interested in pursuing a career as a business school professor, The PhD Project can guide you towards your new future—mentoring the next generation.


We are an alliance of foundations, corporations, universities, and professional and aca- demic organizations. At our annual conference, held every November in Chicago, you’ll network with professors, doctoral program directors and doctoral students and gain program insights in 2 days that normally take months to acquire. We invite you to share this “life altering” experience. Visit www.phdproject.org for more information.
