The MSF Program strives to provide students with practical applications for the fundamentals driving today’s finance industry.
The Suffolk MSF Program’s balance of fundamentals and practicality was exactly what appealed to Rob Chatfield when he chose to enroll. As a student, his unorthodox background and common-sense approach brought a different perspective to the classroom. He continued to exhibit these traits throughout his professional career, ultimately launching his own business providing mergers and acquisitions advisory services to privately held companies in New England.
The one touchstone throughout his career has been his appreciation for the MSF Program at Suffolk University. For more than 10 years, Chatfield has taught in the program, where he shares his high energy and real-world applications of dynamic financial theories with students.
Since 2000, Chatfield's business and primary residence have been based in Maine. For each three-hour class he teaches, he makes a four-hour round-trip commute. When asked why he does this, Chatfield's response is simply, "Isn’t this what you’d expect from an alumnus of a university that provides students with so much opportunity? This is what makes a Suffolk alumnus more than just a graduate – you become part of a family."
