Tulane University's Burkenroad Reports, a program giving business students practical stock analysis experience, won the top award for best teaching delivery in the Wharton QS Stars Awards.

Peter Ricchiuti, Burkenroad Reports founder and director (and host of WWNO's Out to Lunch) says he's honored by the recognition.

“This is an amazing recognition of the work we have been doing for the past 21 years,” says Ricchiuti. “It is particularly meaningful because it celebrates both the creativity of the program and its results in developing strong, well-prepared students. Burkenroad Reports has sent about 600 students off to careers in the investment field.”
