The McNair Program sets underrepresented students on the path to academic careers. But the program is an overlooked resource.
At U.S. business schools, underrepresented minorities account for only a small number of faculty. According to AACSB’s 2020 Business School Data Guide, 3.9 percent of full-time business faculty are Black, 2.8 percent are Hispanic, and .3 percent are Native American. If the business school community wants to improve this persistently low percentage, then we must find ways to encourage more underrepresented students to enter the academic pipeline. One initiative that helps fulfill this goal is the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program.

Wharton’s Introduction to Diversity in Doctoral Education and Scholarship program, or IDDEAS@Wharton, is doing so by supporting undergraduate students interested in business research before they even apply for a Ph.D.

Charlotte Bright knew that only a very special job could lure her away from her 13-year career and associate dean position at the University of Maryland School of Social Work in Baltimore.
She was open to a leadership opportunity at a social work program that was focused on social justice and anti-oppression, with an emphasis on applied research. It couldn’t be too large a program, because she would want to stay closely engaged with the faculty, staff and students.
Then Bright saw a job opening at Colorado State University on a listserv from a professional association.
