Meet Dylan Altieri, A Residence Assistant

When the Champlain Towers South condominium building collapsed suddenly in Surfside, FL, second-year Emergency Management and Homeland Security and Criminal Justice double major, Dylan Altieri, was on vacation with his family just a few miles away.  Watching the coverage on TV, he immediately began recalling a lot of what he learned in the introductory emergency management courses he took last year.

“Everything I learned in my first and second semester, I actively got to see in play and knew what they were talking about,” Altieri recalled.  “I saw on the news everything we learned as far as protocols and FEMAs role.”

Helping others, protecting the community, and dealing with crises is not only something he is passionate about but is in his blood.  Growing up, several of his family members worked in emergency management and law enforcement.  Inspired by their selflessness and dedication to society, Altieri pursued opportunities to serve and protect, including studying for his Emergency Medical Technician license, which he’s one exam away from earning.  Never one to turn down an opportunity, he jumped at the chance to volunteer for the Waterbury Police Explorer’s Academy, which returned to campus this summer.

“I had a class with Professor Jannetty my first semester and we stayed in touch and I created a relationship with him,” Altieri said.  “He asked me to help out with the camp to get to know the campus and get to know other professionals in the field since we’re doing a lot that is directly related to the job.”
