Webb Institute students have a wide variety of extracurricular interests. Student clubs provide Webbies with the opportunity to participate in many different activities. These clubs have an important impact, leading to positive social and personal growth. We encourage all of our students to become involved in a current student club or to create a new student club that might better fit their interests.

If you have any questions or need assistance regarding student clubs, please an Assistant Director of Admissions and Student Affairs: Alyssa Caliguri at ude.bbew@irugilaca or Kayla Green at ude.bbew@neergk.
