We put in overtime in school, they know we doing extra
We put the G in pep the light that we shine incandescent
We graduating at a heavy rate just check the records
Them gophers geeking they studying weekends the whole semester we eating food for thought hungry reading more than expected shout-out the teachers that got us reaching for extra credit
Shout out the tutors that share their knowledge on every lesson
Shout out the nerds my last paper was almost perfection
Feed me the wisdom Hungry for knowledge. Tasting the power in solving a problem. Finish a book and I savor the flavor. Study the theory. Catch an equation. Checking my answers and using my tutors. Showing the math and using my rulers. I’m doing the work and I’m proud of myself
I’m thankful to Goucher for giving me help

New Goucher song/has a deeper message
Hug somebody’/love somebody
Reach somebody/teach somebody
Change a future/be some body
The song “Educate Me” is the Goucher Prison Education Partnership scholars’ way of bridging the Jessup and Towson campuses while giving the school song a flavor that resonates with the locked up Goucher community as a whole. Though locked up, we are not locked out of the Goucher community. This is our gift to the world and especially to our “alma mater, alma mater!
