Meet the Graduate Assistants

Howdy, my name is Alex Getachew (he, his) and I am the Veteran Services Graduate Assistant here at Off Campus Student Services

I am currently a Ph.D. student in Public Policy. I enjoy various hobbies, interests, and passions, such as choral singing, poetry, philosophy, volunteering (in and out of my community), making new friends, and last but not least, imparting corny humor to unsuspecting humans.
My goal is to offer student veterans (and students who are dependents of veterans) opportunities to connect with all the resources UMBC has to offer them. I endeavor to make you feel welcome anytime you walk into our office for any reason whatsoever. Whether that be to inquire about a specific issue, drop in to say hello, have a quick chat, or even to make suggestions for future veterans’ related programming.
I will be on-campus in the office on Tuesday and Thursday this semester. You can reach me by email - agetach1@umbc.edu or Veterans@umbc.edu
