I just recently graduated from OSU this past June with a Bachelors Degree in Art History and Fine Arts with a minor in Spanish. For my Art History Degree, my area of interest was Mesoamerican Studies and for Fine Arts my focus was Printmaking.  I am from Novato, CA (just 30 minutes north of San Francisco) and I was a First Generation student. College was such an exciting time for me, going out of state really pushed me in unexpected ways and I am very proud of the woman I have become at OSU. Within those years, I had studied abroad in Santander, Spain, been president of my cooperative house, been a housing tour ambassador for four years and was a Community Relations Facilitator, teaching social justice and diversity in the resident halls.

One thing that I loved about OSU was the fact that it was very accepting of my being undecided with my major.   Originally I thought I wanted to be an Art Teacher but then through my experiences on campus within housing, it really made me love working with students and making them feel at home within the OSU community. Oregon State University really is a phenomenal educational institution which provides students with tons of resources to becomem the best version of themselves.

This is me with my Linoblock Print I produced to be in our Senior Show.

So now that I am an Admissions Advisor, I am so happy to be able to go travel to Arizona, Utah, Southern and Central Oregon to tell students about all the amazing experiences that Oregon State University has to offer them.

My name is Alex Galbreath and I am a recent addition to the Admissions staff as an Admissions Advisor. I come to Corvallis, OR ready and excited to spread the good word of Oregon State University to interested peoples everywhere. However, I travel specifically to Southern and Central Oregon, Nevada, and Utah!

I am a 2010 graduate with a dregre in Human Physiology (also known as Exercise and Sports Science at OSU) as well as Chemistry and Business minors. I spent a good portion of my undergraduate career working with prospective students in their search for the right college. I worked primarily with students from diverse backgrounds who were generally at a disadvantage to going into high education. My senior year I worked with middle schools in Oregon on a GEAR-UP programs to give them information about the amazing opportunities higher education has to offer!

I love working with students and their families to share about college and Oregon State University and love being an Admissions Advisor! I have been traveling for the last few weeks and I am currently in Salt Lake City, Utah; soon to be in Nevada. I look forward to working with my fellow Beavers in sharing the greatness that is Oregon State University!

Go Beavs!!!
