Students meet with veteran banker Chris Andersen.<br />
<strong>FMA</strong> New York alumni base continues to grow.<br />
Fourteen <strong>FMA</strong> students headed<br />
to New York City this March for<br />
the organization’s third annual<br />
experiential learning trip.<br />
Fitting of the organization’s travel traditions, the group<br />
suffered some minor delays, but students and advisor once<br />
again managed to rise above weather delays and canceled<br />
flights. In addition to planned corporate visits, students<br />
participated in the <strong>FMA</strong> National Student Leadership<br />
Conference. <strong>FMA</strong> alumnus Jordan Carr facilitated a Moelis<br />
& Company visit, where students interacted with an<br />
analyst panel and fellow Auburn alumnus Nathan Barnes<br />
walked members through utilities M&A transactions.<br />
Always the <strong>FMA</strong> supporter, Auburn graduate Steven<br />
Aldridge, hosted students at Cantor Fitzgerald - a New<br />
York based healthcare investment bank. Steve and his team<br />
gave real world advice regarding the path from Auburn<br />
to Wall Street and provided insight on challenges and<br />
opportunities in the healthcare space.<br />
Students were treated to an insider’s view of the dawn of<br />
the high-yield debt market when they attended a dinner<br />
with Chris Andersen. Andersen, an investment banker who<br />
worked at Drexel Burnham Lambert during the Michael<br />
Milken high yield glory days, was part of the original team<br />
with Milken that facilitated high yield M&A transactions<br />
