GSBC is proud to announce the expansion of its innovative student assessment tool, the Experience & Action Journal, a model thoughtfully designed to foster reflection, real-world application and strategic thinking.
This is the annual analysis of topics identified by rising third-year GSBC students for their strategic projects. Through this exercise, students are tasked with working with their bank’s leadership to identify an important issue facing the bank or industry.
Rising third-year students at GSBC have the opportunity to collaborate with a group of peers on technology, demographic and social issues that may impact the future of community banks. Together, the students form a “Signals Group.” The students research and brainstorm emerging changes and innovations, creative solutions and opportunities these signals may present to community banks.
As America’s Premier Community Banking School, GSBC takes pride in creating a strong sense of community through its Peer Group program. This initiative provides new students of the Annual School Session with a unique opportunity to form meaningful connections even before arriving on campus.
At the start of the session, the students were granted access to a digital workbook, which introduced GSBC’s Experience and Action Journal. Here are notable quotes from first-year students’ Experience and Action Journals:
In 2022, GSBC tasked a group of 11 volunteer alums to participate in a “Signals Group.” The group’s purpose was to research and report the findings of emerging technologies that are not widely known or understood.
GSBC is proud to announce that 57 members of the GSBC Class of 2024 have completed its innovative Committed to Lead micro-credential, a supplementary set of coursework designed to equip community bankers with the critical leadership skills necessary to guide their institutions in an evolving financial landscape.
GSBC is proud to announce a groundbreaking shift in student assessments for its Annual School Session with the introduction of the Experience & Action Journal. Departing from traditional exams, this innovative tool aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of student learning and real-world application within the banking industry.
The Graduate School of Banking at Colorado (GSBC) is pleased to continue empowering community bankers through its Committed to Lead micro-credential.
