Cole Volman
Program Coordinator, Pre-Health Office
Cole Volman began working with the Pre-Health Office in 2020, serving as a graduate assistant and writing specialist before moving into a full-time role as a Program Coordinator in 2022. He has previously taught at WVU since 2016 and has served in a variety of advising capacities in the years since.
Originally from Virginia, Cole graduated from Christopher Newport University in 2014 with an undergraduate degree in History. He later earned his Master’s Degree in History from the University of Maryland Baltimore County in 2016 and he is currently working towards earning his PhD in History, which he expects to complete in the Fall of 2022. His research and teaching interests include the history of the Renaissance and Reformation, Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, the Crusades, and Tudor England, as well as the history of medicine, education, and childhood.
Additionally, Cole’s hobbies include reading (he is currently - and always - rereading Frank Herbert’s Dune), writing, camping, hiking, and long-distance running, with a particular fondness for the marathon as his distance of choice. He is an avid fan of Boston sports (particularly the Celtics and Red Sox), as well as a supporter of Liverpool FC.
