Our students had the privilege of a private tour of the New York Stock Exchange, led by Jay Woods. He shared insights from the trading floor that few ever have access to. They met Peter Tuchman, often referred to as the “Einstein of Wall Street,” one of the most recognized traders on the Street. They also had the opportunity to watch Nicole Petallides from Schwab Network conduct an exclusive interview live on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange with Jay Woods and our Chairman, James E. Demmert. Finally, they attended the Closing Bell and experienced firsthand the iconic sound that defines the end of the trading day on Wall Street. We are proud that at The Academy of Finance®, our students are immersed in real-world markets and engage directly with extraordinary individuals shaping the industry.
