Why Paul Smith’s? It was totally unlike any other college that I looked at. The landscape and ‘vibe’ of the campus reminded me of summer camp as a kid, which I absolutely loved.

Before Paul Smith’s: Graduated with science honors from Churchville-Chili HS (2021)… was a member of many music groups and served on the vocal music council for three years... Ran cross country for 5 years, on the varsity ‘B’ team for 4 of those years... Competed in the 110m and 400m hurdles in senior year, being selected to compete in sectional competition, and finishing 13^th overall.

Personal: Carson Wohlers is the child of Bridget and Scott Wohlers of Churchville, NY... They have a younger brother, Graham, who currently serves as an explorer in the Churchville Fire Department... Carson was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout from Troop 90 in Chili, NY, in the spring of 2021... They enjoy mountain biking, reading, kayaking, and tabletop games, like D&D... Currently focused in Environmental Science.
