A Legacy of Leadership. A Future of Excellence.
Founded in 2012, the Black Doctoral Network (BDN) was created to strengthen and expand the pipeline of advanced-degree scholars across disciplines, institutions, and industries. Since then, BDN has evolved into a national membership organization that connects scholars, students, and professionals dedicated to mentorship, applied research, and workforce innovation.
Our mission is clear:
To connect, support, and elevate a global community of thinkers through mentorship, professional development, collaborative research, and community engagement. We are committed to turning intellectual capital into impact, empowering members to lead, teach, and contribute solutions that advance education, opportunity, and progress for all.
Let’s talk about your futureBDN builds pathways of growth through an intergenerational network of mentorship and collaboration. From professors to graduate and undergraduate students, we create a living pipeline of excellence that prepares emerging leaders to thrive in academia, industry, and civic life. Our members transform personal passion into collective progress, leveraging their expertise and experience to support one another through guidance, research, and professional opportunity. Within BDN, mentorship is more than a connection—it is the foundation of a community that learns, leads, and grows together. |
