Project AHEAD:  Achieving Higher Education Administration Diversity

With fewer than 30 African-American, Hispanic American and Native American Deans at majority  business schools in the U.S., the need for administrative diversity has become increasingly evident. Project AHEAD encourages tenured minority faculty to explore positions in administration. Following The PhD Project model, this program  offers resources and support by hosting webinars and providing mentors to help members on this path.

Understanding the Search Process

Seasoned PhD Project faculty joined current Deans and representatives from leading search firms to explore this path at our AHEAD session held during The PhD Project 2012 Annual Conference in Chicago. View a video from this event to learn more.

The PhD Project Faculty Alumni Associations

Held each summer in conjunction with our Doctoral Student Association conferences (click here for schedule), these events bring together PhD Project faculty allowing them to stay connected with other faculty and current doctoral students, furthering opportunities for research and mentorship. The conferences consist of sessions to help faculty advance their careers, as well as explore the path to administration.

Strategies for Teaching Success – partnering with Bentley University

The PhD Project and Baruch College Research Symposium

Suffolk University and The PhD Project’s Meet the Universities and Colleges in Boston Symposium

Suffolk University would like to deepen its relationship with the PhD Project community by hosting an annual symposium. The purpose of this symposium would be to establish personal connections with late-stage PhD students and early-stage faculty from underrepresented minority groups – Black/African Americans, Latinx/Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans – who might be interested in pursuing a tenure-track career at Suffolk University or in the greater Boston area.

Suffolk University and the PhD Project will partner with various institutions in the greater Boston area to host and support the symposium. We hope to establish long-term relationships, thus providing Sawyer Business School and partner institutions from the greater Boston area access to a diverse network of doctoral students during hiring cycles. This will give us the chance to create stronger relationships with doctoral students even before they are on the academic job market.

The symposium would take place annually in the Spring (end of March – March 25th and 26th), before our job openings are posted. Baruch College also runs a Symposium in late April, and we would like to give students the opportunity to attend both.

KPMG Board Fit 

KPMG Board Leadership Center’s Board Fit program is an outgrowth of KPMG’s commitment to boardroom excellence and the importance of strong, diverse boards. Board Fit is conducted by our center’s board and governance experts.
