Access to Diverse Professional Talent Pool

Your organization will have the opportunity to have its open positions distributed via email to more than 7,000 highly qualified minority individuals who attended one of our annual invitational conferences, but have not yet entered a doctoral program.

Enhanced Campus Exposure

Your organization will have direct exposure to virtually every underrepresented faculty member and doctoral student in all of the business disciplines. This opportunity to interact with these influential members of the academic community will allow your company to help shape the career choices of thousands of tomorrow’s students.

Visibility as a Diversity Supporter

Your organization will have prominent exposure on our website and all advertising, promotional and publicity materials. You’ll also have high visibility at, and the opportunity to attend, the annual PhD Project conference and the five annual PhD Project Doctoral Student / Faculty Alumni Association conferences, all which will provide you with access to underrepresented business professors, doctoral students, and potential doctoral students.

But, perhaps most important, is your ability to share your support of The PhD Project and our mission! Our Partner Toolkit will provide resources to help promote your affiliation with The PhD Project both internally and externally – from press release templates to customizable social media posts.

Contact Marie Zara, Director of Advancement at mzara@phdproject.org to discuss opportunities to partner with The PhD Project.
