Living with Animals
March 25, 2024
Students pose in front of the Orange County Zoo and end their “Living with Animals” unbounded journey. Students embrace nature through exploration of museums, zoos, care centers, and natural habitats. “I realize that there are so many plants and animals native to California, and this is something others do not normally have,” Tina Wang (‘24) said. This meaningful trip inspires people to reflect on the beauty of nature and wildlife around us.

Webb started to advocate for the community to decrease the number of paper cups used. “I think [Webb is] taking a huge step towards stopping the deforestation of trees ...and helping the environment,” Martin Beseth (‘27) said.

About the Contributors
Chloe Wang, Social Media Manager
Upon meeting Chloe Wang ('24), her laid-back personality reveals itself. Besides spending a relaxing summer back home in China, Chloe also ventured into the Inner Mongolia, casually unwinding on a camel's back while she rode through the desert and grasslands. As she returns to Webb, Chloe continues to express her carefree nature when hanging out with her friends at the Claremont Village, playing video games, experimenting with makeup, and watching anime. Chloe seeks to expand and learn more about her own culture, especially when she is away from home, and especially while she is experiencing new and different ways of life, such as living at a boarding school in a different country. Chloe has the quiet strength of immersing herself in her own world and is focused on improving her journalistic skills and her knack for innovation. As the Webb Canyon Chronicle’s Social Media Manager, Chloe hopes to increase the readership for the website by promoting the WCC on social media. Cross paths with Chloe Wang on campus, and her dynamic personality is impossible to miss.

Catherine Shen, Editor of Audiovisual
It seems as though Catherine Shen (‘25) can do it all. Beyond the ability to light up someone’s day with a fun spirit, Catherine is an artist with a deep love for religion and political science. Like a 3D collage made from a variety of materials, Catherine’s diverse interests make up her character and identity. This past summer, Catherine not only spent time at UCLA but also traveled to China to work on a documentary about Tibetan Buddhism and women’s leadership in religion. However, her documentary is not the only thing that captures her passions. A passionate artist, Catherine expresses her identity through installation art, using different materials to incorporate themes such as Buddhism. When Catherine isn’t the overachieving older sister we all look up to, she is playing Identity V, eating snacks while watching romance shows, or enjoying Shangcheng Lameizi hotpot with friends. As the WCC’s Editor of Audiovisual, she hopes to start media related projects, including podcasts or videos regarding current political and social issues such as women’s rights. From documenting women’s leadership in religion to making installation art, Catherine’s life is a large-scale, mixed-media construction of art, religion, political science, friends, family, food, and horror escape rooms.
