Now a tradition of the department, the GMC organizes an annual retreat activity off-campus. Retreats in the past have included activities like dinner boat trips from the Boston Harbor, weekend trip to a cabin in Maine and the Maine Mineral and Gem Museum, as well as trips tp Georges Island. The retreat allows the first years to interact with the rest of the Course 3 graduate students with various outdoor recreational activities.

The birds here seem to love Brendan (or maybe its that water fountain that they are interested in)


What beautiful views!

A tired group after the older students defended their title of ultimate frisbee champions!

Traditional ultimate frisbee game between the first years and GMC officers.





A show of good sportsmanship after the first years’ total destruction.


Group picture missing a few people. What a good looking bunch.


It was a tiring day for everyone…except maybe Kevin.
