Marietta College biochemistry major and biology minor Casey Lassiter of the class of 2018 from Spencer, West Virginia took home the crown of the Miss West Virginia USA Pageant held in Morgantown, West Virginia last week after two rigorous rounds of interviews for entrance into graduate physician assistant programs.
 
While this win is a great honor, Lassiter never expected that she would be able to compete in a statewide pageant. Upon winning this title, Lassiter's professors and fellow students have since reached out to her. Her academic advisor, McCoy Associate Professor of Biochemistry Dr. Suzanne Paronsa, said that Lassiter is regularly one of the highest performing students in her challenging 400-level biochemistry class.
 
As Miss West Virginia, USA, Lassiter will conduct public appearances and complete volunteer missions, in addition to preparing for next spring's Miss USA pageant. Like the Miss West Virginia USA competition, the Miss USA pageant will include an evening gown and swimsuit competition, as well as multiple interview rounds.
