Student of the Year

Colton Brown

Criminal Justice Major
It’s an honor to receive this award, it means the world to me to be able to represent Cowley College and Cowley Criminal Justice this way.

Colton Brown  has been named Cowley College’s 2024-2025 Student of the Year. Already honored as the December Student of the Month, Brown’s consistent leadership, strong work ethic, and dedication to his field have set him apart as a standout member of the Cowley community.

Hailing from Coffeyville, Kansas, Brown graduated from Field Kindley Memorial High School and chose Cowley for its highly respected Criminal Justice program. “I knew I wanted to go into law enforcement, and Cowley was by far the best place for me to go,” he said. That decision has paid off—Colton is now wrapping up his time at Cowley with a 3.4 GPA, real-world experience in his chosen field, and a job offer from the Coffeyville Police Department, where he plans to begin working after graduation.

With his eyes on a future in law enforcement and a heart committed to serving others, Colton Brown exemplifies the values and spirit of Cowley College.
