House of Allan: the intriguing exhibit of Will Allan, Humanities Department Faculty, extensive and unique collection of Webb gear. This exhibit was put up for Alumni Weekend but is here to stay for at least a week. It includes Mr. Allan’s collection of clothes that he has gotten since he became a part of the Webb community in 1992; some pieces are vintage while some are new. "T-shirts are an actual artifact so it is exciting to me as a librarian to have shirts from a long period of time that are connected to Mr. Allan, whether that is him as a student, teacher, or as a coach," said Dr. Mark Dzula, Director of Teaching and Learning Resources.

Female cat Fuego –– “Fire” in Spanish –– belongs to Susanna Linsley, Director of Experiential Learning. Fuego waves at the camera, welcoming you to hear her story. The name “Fuego” was suggested by Dr. Linsley’s kids, as they liked the idea that it is one of the threats California constantly faces; naming their cat “Fire” symbolizes their kitten is the fierce protector of their realm. Along with her brother Oso, Fuego is the one of the two first kittens adopted by Dr. Linsley and her family. “We knew we wanted two of them because I had two kids,” said Dr. Linsley. “I also think everybody needs company.”
