Our Story / Mission

A Legacy of Leadership. A Future of Excellence.

The Black Doctoral Network (BDN) was established in 2012 to strengthen and expand the pipeline of advanced-degree scholars across fields, institutions, and industries — especially those who have been historically overlooked or professionally isolated.

Our mission is clear:

To connect, support, and elevate a global community of scholars — through mentorship, professional development, research collaboration, and a steadfast commitment to excellence.

Let’s talk about your future

Through the intergenerational structure of mentorship and networking, we create a pipeline of excellence from professors to graduate students to college students. BDN leverages the personal interest and energy of members of exceptional scholars into a collaborative, functional community.
