Shawn Hatcher '20
Princeton, W.Va.

Shawn is a second generation Mountain Lion, but that is only one detail that finalized his decision to choose CU after graduating from Pikeview High School in 2017. The university also had the program of study he wanted, and its location meant Shawn could commute to save money. He graduated in fall 2020 with a Business Administration degree with concentrations in management and finance. When Shawn wasn't in class, you could find him working in the business office as a work-study in the Accounts Payable office. Shawn says the real life experiences that professors share and the work experience he has received at Concord has prepared him for being the CU PCARD/Travel Coordinator. Education aside, Shawn says his favorite part about Concord is the people. “It felt like home from the time I stepped on the campus in 2017,” Shawn says. “Most of everyone is relaxed and will help out if you are in need.”

Summer McElwain attended Concord University from 2018-2021, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in biology. As part of her CU experience, she participated in PATCH (Pre-professional Association Towards Careers in Health), which provides students with resources to make informed decisions about future careers in healthcare. Upon graduation, she went to the WV School of Osteopathic Medicine to continue her studies. Her most memorable experience at Concord was working in the bookstore. “I really enjoyed getting to see faculty, staff and students in a different environment. That experience really helped me open up and adjust to college.” Summer’s sister is currently attending Concord, and participates on the esports team.
