Arctic Directory: Two students at Webb named Crowley scholars

Crowley Maritime Corp said July 1 that two undergraduate students, Andrew Lachtman and Lidia Mouravieff, at the Webb Institute in Glen Cove, N.Y., were recently awarded Thomas B. Crowley Sr. Memorial scholarships for their community service and academic achievements. Retired U.S. Coast Guard Rear Adm. Robert C. Olsen Jr., president of Webb Institute, presented Mouravieff and Lachtman with Crowley scholarships for the 2010-11 academic year. The Crowley Scholarship, which was established at Webb in 2008, is awarded to students who demonstrate leadership in academics and the community and have an interest in the maritime industry. “These are the most prestigious scholarships for Webb students because they are selected based on their demonstrated leadership abilities along with academic performance,” said Olsen. “Furthermore, a committee of staff and faculty make the selections. I am particularly pleased about this gift from Crowley because it helps us emphasize the importance of leadership to our students in a very visible and important way.” For more information visit www.crowley.com.
