OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A University of Nebraska at Omaha graduate has been rewarded for her work on a business case done while completing her master's degree.

Amy Lussetto was given the Outstanding Student-Authored Case Award by the North American Case Research Association at its annual meeting in late October.

She had presented her business case "Abbot Laboratories: Hero or Villain in the Global HIV/AIDS Epidemic" at the meeting. It focused on Abbott's tiered pricing of HIV/AIDS drugs in 2007.

Lussetto studied the case while working on her master's in business administration at UNO. She graduated in May.

She became the second UNO student to receive the association's case award and made UNO the only school to have more than one winner of the award.
