While there, Sims had class with only one minority faculty member. As part of the Doctoral Scholars Program, Sims found the inspiration and mentorship he needed. Now as an assistant professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Sims encourages students to consider the same program. "You don't see many minorities at this level in academia, but this program gives you the sense that you belong at the table," Sims says. "During a challenging doctoral program, you may question if it's worth it when you don't see anyone on the other side who looks like you. This lets you know you aren't a lone ranger." As part of the program, students receive financial support, take part in mentorship opportunities and attend an annual institute that features panels on networking, interviewing and résumé-building. "The program is more than a check and a handshake," says Lakiea Bailey, who joined the program in 2003 and is now executive director of the Sickle Cell Community Consortium in Cumming. "What makes the difference is that they are interested in what we're doing and stay in contact." Bailey, who frequently experiMore online at www.georgiamagazine.org enced symptoms of sickle cell disease while a student, received support from staff members and other students as she completed her program. Many students, like Bailey, continue to stay in touch with classmates and faculty members they meet at the conference and graduation celebration that the SREB holds annually. "I must say that the SREB celebration was more impactful for me than actually attending my official graduation at UGA," says Tiffiany Aholou, a Winder resident who earned a doctorate in human development and family science and now works at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. "I knew that I was surrounded by people who were genuinely cheering me on about my future prospects." Since 1993, the Doctoral Scholars Program has supported 1,200 scholars at 94 higher education institutions in 31 states. In 2016, the SREB is partnering with corporations to support students, particularly STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) organizations such as NASA. "Data show who is in our schools today and who the future students will be," Abraham says. "If these students get to college and don't see people who look like them, that's sending an awful message. Our state economy can't afford that." Carolyn Crist is a freelance writer living in Athens.
