His support of the accounting community further extends to efforts such as establishing The PhD Project, an award-winning program to diversify corporate Amer- ica, his leadership in Beta Alpha Psi and The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, and recogniz- ing and sustaining faculty, students, and leaders of histori- cally black colleges and universities. Milano graduated from Temple University with a bach- elor’s degree in accounting, and started his career with KPMG in the audit practice of the Philadelphia office. He and his wife Sharon reside with their sons Matthew and Adam. Milano has four older children and six grandchil- dren. Milano holds honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degrees from North Carolina A&T State University and Kent State University. The PhD Project, a 501(c)(3) organization the KPMG Foundation founded in 1994, recruits minority profession- als from business into doctoral programs in all business disciplines. Since its inception, The PhD Project has been responsible for the increase in the number of minority business professors from 294 to 1,217. Further, 361 minor- ities are currently enrolled in doctoral programs, and will take a place at the front of the classroom over the next few years. The project attacks the root cause of minority under-representation in corporate jobs: Historically, very few minority college students have studied business as an entrée to a corporate career. Diversifying the faculty attracts more minorities to study business and better pre- pares all students to function in a diverse workforce. The KPMG Foundation is a 501(c)(3) private founda- tion. The foundation operates on donations from KPMG LLP, the U.S. audit, tax, and advisory firm. For fiscal year 2012, KPMG donated over $6.3 million to the foundation. Through the KPMG Foundation, the firm has spent over 45 years supporting and developing programs to enhance business education.
