GMARS Anniversary song

GMARS WE RISE

20th Anniversary Song

Verse 1:

Twenty years, and here we stand

In Copenhagen, hand in hand

From across the world, you came

Different paths, but one shared aim

Tonight, we say a warm hello

Where conversations start to flow

Names and faces, food and light

The calm before the days take flight

Pre-Chorus:

But tomorrow minds ignite

And questions step into the light

Chorus:

GMARS, we rise

Global village of researchers

GMARS, we rise

Smiles in every corner

Research in our hands

Collaboration in our hearts

GMARS, we rise

With Sydney and Michigan, together in Copenhagen

 
Verse 2:

Monday morning, coffee in hand

Now two days of work begin                      

Plenary thoughts that guide the way

Then parallel ideas in play

A presenter speaks, the room aligns

A discussant sharpens every line

Feedback flows both kind and true

Making stronger what we do

From artificial intelligence

To sustainability’s consequence

From budgeting to digital flow

How control systems help us know

Bridge:

Slides may freeze, but minds won’t stall

And someone always asks it all

Management Accounting we all love                                

Shows just how much we truly care                          

Chorus:

GMARS, we rise

Global village of researchers

GMARS, we rise

Smiles in every corner

Research in our hands

Collaboration in our hearts

GMARS, we rise

With Sydney and Michigan, together in Copenhagen
