On the 3rd of September 2016, an annual team building event was held by our TuPSS committee members to welcome our year one juniors who are new to Taylor's University School of Pharmacy. This event involved students and lecturers from SOP, including the dean of SOP, Prof. Thomas. The objective of this team building is not only for the participants to have fun and learn skills, but also for the freshmen to get to know the seniors, and for the seniors to share their experience as a pharmacy student in Taylor's University.
Registration started at 9am and it was handled by the year 3 seniors, Irene and Patricia. At 9.45am, we seniors aka the facilitators started gathering the juniors of their group to sit together in a circle. We started with some fun ice breaking activities, for everyone to remember the names of their group members.
After breaking the ice between group members, we started with our team building game at 10.30am, The Game of Life.
Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships. From the photos below, we can see that everyone was having fun and working together as a team, and that is why we say, unity is strength.

After the team building activities, came the best part of the day: Lunch! We had our delicious lunch prepared by the organizing committees.
After lunch, it's time to reveal how much money every group earned and start purchasing items prepared by the game team.
Then, it's prize giving ceremony for the winning groups, congratulations and we hope you guys enjoyed the snacks!
An event is not complete without a group photo, so we took a group photo together before ending this event.
