Paul and Ari will receive Doctor of Laws degrees

We’re thrilled and honored to announce that Zingerman’s founding partners will deliver the 2015 Spring Commencement address for the Ann Arbor campus on May 2nd at Michigan Stadium. Both Ari and Paul are University of Michigan alum. 

Each will also receive an honorary Doctor of Laws, and they’ll share this honor with five others also receiving honorary degrees:

• John Dingell, former U.S. Congressman for Michigan’s 12th Congressional District, Doctor of Laws.

• Sanford R. Robertson, pioneering venture capitalist, founding partner of Francisco Partners and U-M alumnus, Doctor of Laws.

• Robert J. Shiller, Nobel Prize winning economist, best-selling author and U-M alumnus, Doctor of Science.
Dr. Shiller also is Rackham Graduate Exercises speaker.

• Robin Wright, award-winning journalist, author, foreign correspondent and U-M alumna, Doctor of Humane Letters.

• Dr. Tadataka Yamada, global health expert and former faculty member in the Medical School, Doctor of Science.
