| Marcus Dunlop is an Academic All-American running back for the Titan football team. With 108 Academic All-American athletes in its history, Illinois Wesleyan ranks among the top 10 universities in the nation in the quality of its student athletes. | |
| Your hometown? | Maywood, Illinois, where I attended The Proviso East High School, the home of the Pirates. |
| Why Wesleyan? | Great opportunity to learn in a well-respected institution, with small classroom sizes, a big-school social life (state college town), and to play football at the collegiate level. |
| Your major? | Economics and Business Administration. I have always pictured myself as a businessman, so it was an easy choice. |
| Favorite professor or favorite class? | Portfolio Management taught by Elisabeta Pana. In the class, students manage a real dollar portfolio. The proceeds help fund the general scholarship fund. It was exciting to know it was not a simulation; I was investing real money! |
| After Wesleyan? | I’m going to Wall Street!!! I will be working as an investment banker in New York, the big city of dreams. |
| Biggest thrill? | Winning!! I'm really competitive, so winning at anything excites me, but winning football games is the best. Winning the CCIW Championship in Football as a senior was the ultimate. I am blessed I had the opportunity to experience that thrill. |
| For fun? | I’m simple and a poor college student so I hang out with friends laughing, playing cards, throwing darts…and doing college kids’ stuff. I would love to travel and see the world, but I’ll have to wait till I have the funds to do so. |
| The best? | Chicago skyline |
| Favorite book? | The Pursuit of Happyness by Chris Gardner |
| Favorite band? | Jay-Z and the Blazetts |
| Favorite movie? | American Gangster |
| Favorite quote? | "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." Robert Frost |
