Faculty Profile

Dr. Marc Setterlund

Dr. Marc Setterlund
Departments: Psychology

During the first two years of Marc Setterlund’s undergraduate studies, he was a chemistry major who was bound and determined to become a doctor—until a run-in with a rat changed his mind.

“We had to use a scalpel to dissect dead rats, and I couldn’t do it,” he says. “My hands were shaking, and I realized that if I couldn’t do surgery on a dead rat, I could never do it on a live person.”
