An honorary Doctor of Business Administration will also be awarded to Indra K. Nooyi, a successful business executive who’s been ranked among the world’s “100 Most Powerful Women” by Forbes magazine. She served as chair and CEO of PepsiCo from 2006 until 2019. A native of India, she became the first woman of color and first immigrant to head a Fortune 50 company.
