Marcus Robertson is a journalism major and an Air Force veteran.

He plays the drums occasionally and listens to music you all definitely hate.

In his free time (lol), Marcus enjoys a good existential crisis. Also he’s really old. Like almost 30 old.
ALSO also he’s in student government, so students with questions, comments, or concerns should feel free to reach out.
Contact him at nation@depauliaonline.com, and follow him on Twitter @TheMarcusMiciah.”
