Student Communications
Webb is home to three primary student media — The Webb Canyon Chronicle, KWEB radio and El Espejo, the student 年鉴 — in addition to our literary magazine and other club-based publications.
Each organization follows a structure unique to its needs.
Webb Canyon Chronicle: The student publication has its roots in the old Blue & Gold newspaper, which has a storied history. It was launched within six years of the Webb’s founding and featured the occasional story written by Will Rogers, whose son attended Webb. These days, the Chronicle is an online media tool with a presence on social media. The publication is run as part of an journalism class sequence.
KWEB: Webb’s historic radio station has taken on a new guise as a podcast-based media outlet. Students devote each episode to a single theme, reporting stories around those themes. The program is run as an afternoon activity in fall and spring.
EL ESPEJO: Webb’s 年鉴, launched in 1928, is run as a student activity in fall and winter, with students gathering images and writeups to capture the year.
Student Service
Service to the community is an essential part of Webb’s philosophy of leadership development, whether the community is a single dormitory, the Claremont-Pomona area or an entire nation. 在伟德BETVlCTOR1946, we believe that service should be a calling, not an obligation, so community service hours are not required, but the rewards of service are immense, and we encourage every student to get involved.
Our approach to community service strongly emphasizes hands-on participation. We believe students gain the most when they can see the direct results of their work and realize just how powerful their service can be. Webb provides four to five service opportunities each month, and allows students to focus on service as an afternoon activity.
Some of our service opportunities include:
- Working with special needs children through Ability First
- Preparing books to send to inmates at the Prison Library Project
- Building houses with Habitat for Humanity
- Assisting elderly residents of the nearby Sunrise Senior Center
- Tutoring local elementary school students through CLASP (Claremont After-School Program)
- Cleaning up Southern California beaches with members of Webb’s Project Earth group
- Organizing AIDS awareness events through the Global Citizens Corp
- Helping place dogs and cats in new homes with HOPE (Helping Out Pets Everyday)
- Running an annual blood drive for the Red Cross
Service opportunities aren’t limited to the local area. Each year, Webb’s Service Council organizes international service trips over spring and summer breaks, involving everything from building schools to assisting with tsunami relief. Past destinations have included Peru, 斐济, 厄瓜多尔, 罗马尼亚, Argentina, Australia, Costa Rica and Thailand.
