A young man who earned his master’s degree in veterinary science in the U.S. has joined the fewer than 2% of veterinarians nationwide who are Black.
A young African scholar, Aaryn DuBose, has achieved a remarkable milestone by graduating from Tuskegee University in the United States with a master’s degree in Veterinary Science—a feat that places him among the just 2% of Black veterinarians in the entire country.

Aaryn’s Journey: From Childhood Loss to Purpose
Aaryn’s dream of becoming a veterinarian began at seven years old. After witnessing the tragic accident that claimed the life of his dog, Thunder, he made a quiet promise to himself: never again would he be unable to help an animal in pain.
“I remember it like it was yesterday. On our way to the hospital, I watched him take his final breaths. From that moment, I vowed that I would never watch another animal suffer without being able to help.”
Motivated by this early experience, Aaryn pursued a pre-veterinary academic path. He completed a bachelor’s degree in Biology at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University in 2021 before advancing to Tuskegee University.
Academic Excellence at Tuskegee University
Aaryn distinguished himself at Tuskegee University, graduating with a master’s degree in Veterinary Science as one of the top students in his class. He celebrated his achievement by sharing an inspiring quote from Booker T. Washington:
“Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.”
He also expressed heartfelt appreciation for his community:
“God put these beautiful souls in my life, and I am forever grateful.”
Continuing the Climb: Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) Loading…
Aaryn’s academic journey is far from over. His success fueled an even greater ambition—he has been accepted back into Tuskegee University to pursue a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree.
Reflecting on his growth and perseverance, he said:
“I remember looking at myself in the mirror, my junior year of undergrad, thinking this would never be possible. I never gave up on my dream, even when the odds were stacked against me. If I can do it, you can too. Dr. DuBose loading…”
Inspiring the Next Generation
Today, Aaryn sees himself not just as a scholar but as a symbol of representation and hope for young people, particularly Black children who rarely see themselves in veterinary spaces.
“Every time I walk into a room, I know I’m representing more than just myself. If I can show one kid from a background like mine that this is possible, then all the hard work is worth it.”
His story shines as a powerful example of determination, resilience, leadership, and purpose.
