The Diamonds

This team chose diamonds as their metaphor because they are formed under pressure, are rough when first excavated, and can be polished into something beautiful.

L to R: Bryan (engaged to be married, works for a textbook publishing company and sells to colleges in the midwest); Pat (is an IT manager and very analytical guy); Dallas (works for UoP and is also a very talented photographer); Ron (an army nurse stationed at Ft. Sam Houston, he just became a grandfather, one of the funniest men I know...also in the EdD/CI program); Pat (a community college administrator, the silent type who speaks only when he feels its necessary)

Ron says that Dallas is the diamond...they guys are the rough...I would have to agree.
