Meet our grads: Lance Hare

I first started when I was 21 as a nutrition major, but I got to a point where I didn’t feel like I wanted to be a registered dietician anymore, so I decided to drop out and go back to the drawing board. I went back to working retail as a full-time manager, and after a while I thought, “Hey, WVU has an exercise physiology program—that might be worth looking into.” And so I did. While researching what I could do with the degree, I was thinking that this would be a cool stepping stone to get my feet wet in medicine for PA school. I came back to WVU at 25, which was just over two years ago.
