Randall J. Schaetzl

Randy Schaetzl grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, and has been close to the physical environment ever since. His academic training has been entirely within Geography, and at Midwestern schools (Wisconsin, Kansas, Illinois). Randy came to MSU in 1987, deeming it at the time his “dream job,” and has been a professor here ever since. He has become a devoted and loyal Spartan. Randy lives in Okemos with his wife, where they tend to their suburban farm and garden. His interests include travel, gardening, hiking and backpacking, the Tour de France, and of course, Spartan football. Go green!
