The Phd Project

It’s time to rethink traditional approaches to workplace diversity and inclusion. Despite decades of good intentions, too many efforts have fallen short. At The PhD Project, we're charting a different course, working to build a more diverse workforce by targeting the most reliable source of great leaders: America’s business schools. By creating a more diverse population of business PhDs, we are transforming business education – and transforming business – for everyone. We are a growing community of educators, students, and business leaders who share our conviction that meeting the challenge of building diversity in our workforce demands the same qualities that have built the American economy: innovation, entrepreneurialism, and determination. Through conferences, mentoring, and networking, we encourage and support diverse candidates on their journey to acquiring a PhD. We are a critical bridge between businesses and our alumni PhDs and their students, providing connections to high-potential recruits. With demonstrated success in creating more diverse business faculty, we are doing more than transforming the face of business education. We are inspiring new generations of future leaders, bringing diversity to our workforce, and creating a better world for all of us.
