August 30, 2021

August 30, 2020, Tioga, ND Savanna Hendrickson, Senior Vice President of The Bank of Tioga, has graduated from Colorado's state-of-the-art Graduate School of Banking program. Hendrickson was among 141 graduates of the class of 2021 honored in a ceremony on July 29, 2021, in Boulder, Colorado.

Students graduate from the Graduate School of Banking at Colorado upon successfully completing three annual two-week sessions of classroom training on the University of Colorado Boulder campus in Boulder, CO, and six immersive intersession research projects between sessions and throughout the year. Courses covering four career areas are delivered by community-banking experts and include financial management, technology, leadership and lending.

The program’s capstone course is an in-depth bank management simulation, where students assume the roles of senior management of a commercial bank, involving themselves in the group dynamics and managerial skills of managing a bank in a competitive environment with changing economic conditions.

“Through this experience I have learned so much, created many connections and made life-long friendships,” said Hendrickson. “This program has enhanced my community banking skills and so grateful for the opportunity."

Graduate School of Banking at Colorado celebrated its milestone 70th annual school session July 18-30, 2021, hosting students both in person and virtually from across the United States.
