UNT alumna Dr. Erin Tate is a busy veterinarian who has started several successful clinics across North Texas. She is excited to join the UNT Alumni Association for their Alumni Live! virtual event next Thursday, January 28 at 4pm to answer questions about pet health and how to give our furry friends the best chance for long, happy lives. Since Dr. Tate will be zooming live from her veterinary clinic, there might even be a special guest appearance from an adorable animal patient. Register for this fun, free event here.
For the past twenty-one years, Dr. Erin Tate has been busy living her dream of helping animals. Her journey to a successful career began at the University of North Texas, where she graduated with an undergraduate degree in Biology in 1994 and went on to complete her doctorate in Veterinary Medicine at Texas A&M in 1999. Her focus has been in small and exotic animal private practice ever since.
"I look forward to sharing the story of how I became a vet, including my time at UNT and the leadership skills I learned from my sorority days," said Dr. Tate, who is the present Chair Elect of the College of Science Advancement Board. "We'll also discuss home animal care during the pandemic and how to handle grieving the loss of a beloved pet."
Born and raised in Denton, Dr. Erin Tate came from a proud UNT family. Her father began teaching as a professor in the UNT Department of Political Science in the 70s, and later served as a Regents Professor and the Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School. Upon enrolling at UNT, Dr. Tate joined the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, where she learned about leadership and teamwork and gained the confidence to follow her dreams.
A natural leader and innovator, Dr. Tate was recently voted Chair Elect by her peers on the COS Advancement Board, a small but impactful group of alumni and donors that helps guide fundraising efforts in service of education and research initiatives within the college. Dr. Tate's goals include increasing public awareness of the accomplishments in the math and science departments and institutes at UNT.
