Dr. Getty arrived at the university in 1999, straight out of graduate school. In the many years since then, she has forgotten at least a quarter of the things that she has done, and she is trying actively to forget the number of committees on which she has served.

As an exchange professor, she taught for a semester in China, at Tsinghua University, in Beijing. She has served as a faculty advisor for Sigma Tau Delta, the International English Honor Society, since 2001.

In recent years, she has been involved in several open access/public domain anthology projects. The four anthologies have been downloaded over 5,000 times at 375 institutions in 101 countries (as of April 2019).

• Ph.D., Comparative Literature, The Pennsylvania State University, 1999

• B.A., Independent Student-Designed Major (German, French, and Folklore), St. Mary's College of Maryland, 1993
