The AACTE Holmes Program provides mentorship, professional development, and support to doctoral and master’s students who self-identify as racially and ethnically diverse and are pursuing graduate degrees in education at AACTE member institutions. The program also supports early career post-doctoral scholars of color to advance their scholarly contributions. The primary goal of the Holmes Program is to prepare more diverse leaders in the field of education, including diversity in the ranks of higher education tenure-track faculty and deans, K-12 leaders, and leaders driving state and federal policies. Since its inception in 1991, the Holmes Program has served more than 600 scholars from various institutions across the country.
