Warren serves as Senior Vice Dean – Administration and Student Affairs of the combined Rutgers University School of Nursing and as the Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs for the larger Rutgers Health.
During the historic consolidation of the nursing schools, Dr. Warren led a team of nearly 45 administrators from all parts of the university to ensure that processes related to admissions, financial aid, registrar, bursar, and other student-related functions operated efficiently.
In his oversight of administration, Dr. Warren focuses on ensuring that all Rutgers School of Nursing resources and processes including finance, information technology, facilities infrastructure, marketing/public relations/communications, institutional research, grants and contracts, and human resources remain stable and supportive of the school’s mission.
