Dr. Ebony Gilbreath, Dean of the Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine, received the Distinguished Postgraduate Alumni Award during the Michigan State University (MSU) College of Veterinary Medicine Awards Ceremony and Reception.
Dr. Gilbreath was one of the five alumni awards recipients during the annual ceremony, which honors alumni, staff, and faculty for achievements and service.
Dr. Gilbreath completed a pathology externship at MSU in 2004. She also completed a three-year residency in veterinary anatomic pathology followed by a Ph.D. in Pathology there.
"It was indeed an honor to be recognized by my veterinary colleagues at my alma mater for my postgraduate studies,” she said. “Upon graduating from Tuskegee with my DVM and pursuing my passion in pathology at MSU, I found the university to be a place that supported my growth academically, professionally and personally. I am grateful for the excellent preparation that I received, and life-long friendships gained during my time at MSU.”
After a national search, Dr. Ebony Gilbreath was appointed Dean of TUCVM last fall. Prior to serving as interim dean, Dr. Gilbreath served as Associate Dean for Academic and Student Affairs for the college.
She is a board-certified veterinary anatomic pathologist who has served on the faculty at Tuskegee University since 2011. She previously served as the Assistant Dean for Pre-Clinical Programs, Department Head of Pathobiology, and also served as Section Chief of Necropsy.
Dr. Gilbreath earned her B.S. degree in Animal and Poultry Science in 2000 followed by her DVM degree in 2004, both from Tuskegee University. She is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists and has expertise in comparative pathology, neurodegenerative diseases, and reproductive physiology. She is a member the American College of Veterinary Pathologists and the Society of Toxicologic Pathology.
