A Systemic Approach to Diversifying Business School Faculty. The PhD was created to address the severe under-representation of African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans on business school faculty. By diversifying the faculty, the PhD Project will: encourage more minorities to pursue business degrees, improve the performance and completion rate of those students by providing role models and more natural mentors and better prepare all business students for today's multicultural society and work environment. Over the past nine years, The PhD Project has helped to increase the number of minority business professors by 125%. The stories in this book illustrated the lives of PhD Project participants who have journeyed through the Ph.D. process. Their stories are inspiring, uplifting, and a proof that dreams do come true.
