When I walked into the fi rst session of The PhD Project conference, I was fl oored. I thought, “They are talking to me.”


Inform. Educate. Encourage.


You could infl uence the next generation of leaders.


“At The PhD Project conference, doctoral students were talking about when they had exhausted corporate life, were at a crossroads and needed fl exibility. It was an epiphany. Getting a Ph.D. and becoming a professor had been on my dream list.” And The PhD Project helped Dante make it her reality.


Imagine what it’s like to devote your life, and your career to changing the face of corporate 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 academic 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.
