Cory R. Wang attended Colby Community College from 2001-2003. He was one of the two original recipients of the Criminal Justice Scholarship funded by the City of Colby's Special Law Enforcement Fund.  Cory became a Thomas County Deputy Sheriff, Thomas County K-9 Service Office and Deputy Marshall for the City of Brewster.

Micki Steele-Blair, Cory's mother, started the Cory R. Wang Memorial Scholarship at Colby Community College in memory of Cory and to further his passion for the Criminal Justice program.
