The Botwinick Prize in Business Ethics and Ethical Practice in the Professions recognizes an individual or representative of a business organization exemplifying the highest standard of professional and ethical conduct. The Prize was established by a generous gift from the late Benjamin Botwinick BS '26 and his wife, Bessie.

This year, the Botwinick Prize will honor Daniel Lubetzky, founder and CEO of KIND Snacks. Following the award ceremony, Daniel will sit down for a conversation on values-based leadership at work with Professor Rebecca Ponce de Leon. 

This event is co-sponsored by the Student Leadership and Ethics Board (SLEB) as part of Leadership & Ethics Week. It is also an approved event as part of the Phillips Pathway for Inclusive Leadership (PPIL).
