Kate Lapierre of North Smithfield, RI, whose passion for socially conscious businesses led her to co-found Twin Skin, an eco-friendly lip balm company, has been named an inaugural Blank School Scholar at Babson College’s Arthur M. Blank School of Entrepreneurial Leadership. She and her five cohorts were selected for their high academic achievement and potential as entrepreneurial leaders, and with funding from the Blank Family Foundation, have been awarded four-year, full-tuition, merit-based scholarships.
The inaugural class of 2020 Blank School Scholars are six students who embody Arthur Blank's leadership qualities and his personal foundational values that have been incorporated within the school (Put People First; Listen and Respond; Include Everyone; Innovate Continuously; Lead by Example; and Give Back to Others), according to Babson College, which has been named No. 1 undergraduate school for entrepreneurship for the 24th consecutive time by U.S. News & World Report.
Launched last November with a $50 million gift by Arthur M. Blank '63, H'98 and The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, the Arthur M Blank School expands the College's view of entrepreneurship to focus on the human condition, building entrepreneurial leaders with empathy, morality, compassion, and drive to produce scalable solutions that can benefit individuals, communities, and the world.
Started by Lapierre and her twin sister Kristianna, Twin Skin sells all natural and eco friendly lip products housed in kraft brown, biodegradable tubes and pots.
