Congratulations are in order for Jeff Stibel, currently serving as the Vice Chairman of Dun & Bradstreet, who will be receiving an honorary Doctorate of Business degree from Pepperdine University’s Graziadio School of Business and Management.

In recognition of Stibel’s business achievements and work with the Graziadio School, he will be awarded the honorary degree at the 2015 graduation ceremony on December 5, where he will also give the commencement address.
