Welcome students of Mergers & Acquisitions at Fordham University's Gabelli School of Business! The following links should contain most of the materials that we use in the course. As mentioned during class, most files are password protected. Also, do not assume that everything presented is included below — the files in the links below will not have all the graphics used in class, nor will they have the anecdotal color.
While there are no set office hours for this class, please email Prof. Nesvold (peter@nesvold.com) if you have questions, and he will make himself available outside of class. Good luck!
