People
WES has the dual purpose of supporting scholars and also bringing the community and the college together. A WES member today contributes to tuition and book allowances for 20 Colorado College students selected as "WES Scholars" for their achievement, academic and personal promise, and financial need. A WES member has many opportunities to interact with WES Scholars through social events, fundraisers, and campus activities. Currently, WES has 134 members.

Carter Hagenauer, '28
Hello, my name is Carter Hagenauer. I graduated from Wyoming High School in Ohio and came to CC as a Margaret T. Barnes Scholarship physics major. I love the outdoors, recreational sports, drawing, and lifting, and I am also on the CC Varsity swim and dive team.
Kenia Hansen Guzman, '28
My name is Kenia Hansen Guzman and I am from Fort Morgan, Colorado. Throughout high school, I was heavily involved in clubs such as the Gay-Straight Alliance, National Honor Society, League of United Latin American Citizens, Volleyball, Tennis, and PEERS. Through my work within these extra-curricular activities, my passion to serve has grown. At Colorado College I hope to major in neuroscience and minor in Spanish while completing medical school prerequisites. I plan to become a Physician, although I am unsure of a specialty. I cannot wait to work with and meet all of the W.E.S Scholars and Alumni.

Alina Miranda, '28
My name is Alina Miranda. I was born and raised in Superior, Colorado, and I am half-Colombian. Mental health is very important to me. My own experiences with it influence how I perceive education as an opportunity to explore my curiosities rather than define my worth. Track and field has been an opportunity for me to grow mentally and physically, and I look forward to continuing track here as a sprinter! Green is my favorite color and monkeys are my favorite animal. I am also a Boettcher scholar. I plan to focus on chemistry and environmental science as my career goals revolve around sustainability. School is something that I’ve always enjoyed and I am so excited to spend the next four years learning with WES.
