Class of 2017
Michael Yost attended Concord University from 2014-2017, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in pre-professional biology. He was then accepted to the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, where he earned his medical degree. He is currently in the Family Medicine residency program at Greenbrier Valley Medical Center in Lewisburg, WV. His most memorable experience while attending Concord is meeting his wife in University 101 on the first day of class. When asked about a unique story that many people don’t know about him, he related, “I won The WV State Arbor Day Poster competition in fourth grade and there is a tree planted in my honor in front of Athens Elementary School still today, less than a mile from Concord University.”

Sociology Major with Criminology Emphasis
Zoey Shamblin, class of 2027, is studying sociology with a criminology emphasis and a minor in substance abuse. She is the first-generation college student in her family, having graduated from Poca High School in 2023. She began her collegiate studies in August and quickly became immersed in campus life. She became an arbiter for Concord's Student Government Association, joined Alpha Psi Omega's theatre fraternity and served as Assistant Stage Manager for the 2023 production of The Thanksgiving Play. After graduation, she plans to pursue a career in criminology, either as a correctional officer or as a police officer. She is grateful for the opportunities she’s had already on The Campus Beautiful, such as visiting Alderson prison, and meeting a federal magistrate judge. She credits her “amazing professor”, Lori Pace for opening doors to these experiences, which helped her discover her passion. Zoey is an avid traveler and loves to learn about unfamiliar cultures. She’s visited Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, and France. She names Swiss Alps as her favorite saying, “The beautiful mountains reminded me of my country roads home.”
