Erin Cowart
Assistant Director
I earned my Master of Arts degree in psychological research from Texas State University, where I studied the impact of social relationships on moral judgment. I also have a background in music performance and am equally passionate about social and data ethics and morality.
I primarily manage the state Coordinating Board Management (CBM) reporting for UT Austin and UT Austin Dell Medical to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB). While I have many other hats, I am also heavily involved in systemwide data validation and frequently collaborate across departments to troubleshoot discrepancies, maintain data integrity, and support compliance with state reporting standards.
Some species of spiders can live for up to 30 years! I didn’t learn this fun fact until after I rescued a pet tarantula from being thrown away. Her name is Squidy and she and I have been friends since 2013.
