Campus Life

At Webb, campus life is close-knit, student-led, and full of tradition. Here, you do not just attend college—you become part of a community.

Living at Webb

Every Webb student lives and eats on campus, creating a residential experience that feels active, connected, and deeply personal. From shared meals to late-night study sessions, life here is shaped by the people around you.

With scenic views, a private beach, a student kitchen, and 24-hour access to many campus facilities, Webb becomes more than where you study. It becomes home.

Clubs and Organizations

Webb students are encouraged to get involved, try something new, and lead. Clubs and organizations give students a chance to build friendships, explore interests, and shape the campus experience.

In a community this small, participation matters. Whether you join an existing group or help start something new, there is room to make your mark.

Athletics and Recreation

Athletics and Recreation

At Webb, athletics and recreation are open, welcoming, and built for participation. Students can compete, stay active, and enjoy the water, campus, and surrounding community.

From sailing, soccer, basketball, volleyball, and tennis to recreation beyond campus, Webb students find ways to move, compete, and connect.

Mission, Vision, Values

Our Mission

Webb trains leaders in engineering for the maritime industry and beyond. Campus life supports that mission by helping students grow as collaborators, citizens, and leaders.

Our Vision

Webb prepares students to lead wherever they are needed. That leadership begins here, in a community where students are trusted, challenged, and known.

Our Values

Excellence. Community. Opportunity. These values guide the Webb experience, from the Honor Code to student leadership, service, and lifelong connection.

The senior thesis gives us the platform to explore emerging trends and tackle high-level maritime research before we even graduate. Presenting that work to industry leaders is a bridge from student to professional.

Community Service

Webbies are builders, problem-solvers, and neighbors. Through community service, students give their time and skills to projects that support Webb, Glen Cove, and the wider community.

From beach cleanups and food drives to Engineering Day and campus restoration projects, service is one more way students put leadership into action.

In a community this small, participation matters. Whether you join an existing group or help start something new, there is room to make your mark.

Yearly Events

Traditions are part of what makes Webb feel like Webb. Each year brings events that students look forward to, lead, and make their own.

From Founder’s Day and holiday celebrations to Webbstock, ski trips, and student-led gatherings, these moments bring the community together across classes and generations.

Hear from our Students

The best way to understand life at Webb is to hear from the students who live it.
