New Book Chronicles History and Impact of the PhD Project: “Paying It Forward” Profiles Minority Business Professors Who Are Changing the Face of Management Education and Influencing Undergraduates to Study Business
MONTVALE, N.J., Dec. 3, 2014 — The PhD Project, which works to provide role models to encourage more minority undergraduates to study business and pursue business careers, announces publication of its new book, “Paying It Forward.”
The 201-page book is available on Amazon.com in print and e-book format. “Paying It Forward” has been published to coincide with The PhD Project’s 20th anniversary of attacking a root cause of the lack of diversity in corporate America: the near absence of minority professors in business schools, to attract and serve as role models for minority undergraduates to study business.
When The PhD Project was created in 1994, there were only 294 doctorally qualified African-, Hispanic- and Native American business professors in all U.S. universities. Today, there are 1,267 and more on the way more than quadrupling the number in 20 years.
