Team Gemstone
Yesterday Team MORALS participated in Team Gemstone, which is a two-hour team-building event at Maryland's Recreation Center. Through physical activities, our team (which included Dr. Dwyer, since she was super awesome and wanted to participate as well) learned more about working together, communicating effectively, and supporting and trusting each other. We did a variety of activities, including balancing on a giant plank and climbing to the top of a very tall challenge course, with our teammates belaying us. We had a lot of fun and benefitted from all the bonding time--and yes, we did in fact have matching T-shirts. Here are some photos from Team Gemstone!
Diana and Lara are the first two MORALS team members to tackle the challenge course.

Pablo (top platform) and Brian (lower right) both made speedy ascensions to the top of the course.
Katrina faced her fear of heights and made a very solid climb up the challenge course.
Dr. Dwyer, proving once again she is the best team mentor MORALS could ask for. #mentorparticipation
