The units are the Center for Urban Affairs & Community Services, Customized Contractual Education, McKimmon Conference & Training Center, Office of Professional Development, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, Technology Training Solutions, The Collaborative at the Gateway Technology Center, and the Upper Coastal Plain Learning Council.
Warren’s involvement with UPCEA spanned the association’s activities. She has led national UPCEA committees for the association’s Annual Conference and Association Awards, served in multiple leadership roles for the South Region including chair, and has also served as an active member and chair of the Outreach, Engagement and Economic Development Network, as well as serving on UPCEA’s board of directors. Warren received the South Region’s Outstanding Service to Continuing Education Award in 2013 and the Walton S. Bittner Citation for Outstanding Service to UPCEA in 2014 and the Julius M. Nolte Award for Extraordinary Leadership in 2018.
