CEO connections

High-level executives have a strong presence at Gabelli. That’s not much of a surprise, with hundreds of corporate giants 20 minutes into Manhattan and powerful hedge funds headquartered 30 minutes east in Greenwich.

The school makes sure that students get one-on-one contact with these major players. Opportunities are everywhere to encounter business professionals — for networking, mentoring, industry advice, classroom instruction and just sharing great business stories.

• More than 85 adjunct instructors teach Gabelli courses. Many of them are working industry professionals.
• Gabelli's CEO Breakfast Club hosts are company chiefs who discuss their work with interested students over bagels and orange juice.
• Class and student organization meetings tap New York City business notables as guest speakers and panelists.
• Fordham and Gabelli alumni are constantly back on campus to help out the next generation.
• The Gabelli Alumni/Student Supper Club matches five to seven students with an alumnus or alumna for small-group networking dinners in Manhattan.

We are open to students' suggestions, too — if there is a corporate leader whom you’d like to meet or see at Fordham, let us know, and we’ll see what we can make happen.
