She is Co-Chair of the Leadership Committee as well as Student Public Relations Chair working with Webb’s Communications and Media Relations Department, where she assists in social media marketing, yearbook design, and writing for Webb’s annual publication, Webb News.
“Reneé and Taylor are exemplary leaders” said Dean Matthew Werner. “Webb is proud to have Reneé and Taylor as members of our student body. Their multi-faceted contributions to the community and record of achievement at Webb has made them ideal candidates for the Thomas Crowley Scholarship.”
“The Thomas B. Crowley Sr. Memorial Scholarship Program provides assistance to students that demonstrate attributes that Crowley Maritime Corp. and Webb Institute hold essential to our missions. These include leadership, service, and commitment to the maritime industry.” said President R. Keith Michel. “We are most appreciative of Crowley’s ongoing commitment to higher education and look forward to our continued partnership with Crowley Maritime Corp.”
Since 1984, Crowley has provided more than $3 million dollars in scholarship funding for more than 1,000 students studying at maritime academies and other select institutions in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Central America. In 1994, Crowley Chairman and CEO Crowley Jr. established the Thomas B. Crowley Sr. Memorial Scholarship Program in honor of his father.
To support this specialized, top-ranked institution, Crowley initiated the Thomas B. Crowley, Sr. Memorial Scholarship at Webb in 2007 and has since given tens of thousands of dollars in support of the school’s students. Crowley’s involvement with Webb took on added significance in 2008 when the company acquired Jensen Maritime Consultants, a leading naval architecture and marine engineering firm headquartered in Seattle. Many Webb graduates are currently employed by Crowley and Jensen in a number of disciplines from naval architecture and marine engineering, to vessel construction management and vessel operations.
