Every July the anticipation begins
Just like the students, we prepare to descend
On our home away from home for two weeks each year
Fueled by a passion for community banking so clear
Into majestic Boulder the Sim team will arrive
That view of the mountains makes us feel so alive
Visits a year apart, yet we never miss a beat
Friends who are like family, a reunion so sweet
A need to teach some of us didn’t know we had
But growing future bank leadership just makes us feel so glad
Our professional spirit is rejuvenated every day
The energy of young bankers never fades away
We couldn’t feel more honored to work under our great leader, Tim
And be a part of the top-notch faculty so loyal to him
Each of us GSBC students from back in the day
A fondness for a campus that will never go away
Burgers at the Dark Horse and evenings on Pearl
When you’re always on the go, those two weeks are a whirl
But after working all day, in the evenings we unwind
With team dinners out, poolside chats, Fat Tire and good wine
A combined 131 trips to Boulder for this team of banking pros
Giving back to our industry, our love for banking shows
The memories we’ll forever cherish of the friendships and the fun
Connections that will last a lifetime at the greatest banking school under the sun
