Seattle Central names Vice President for instruction
Dr. Warren Brown has been appointed vice president for instruction at Seattle Central Community College. Brown succeeds Dr. Ron Hamberg, who retired from the position in May after 30 years. The vice president for instruction directs curricula development, instruction, and 480 full and part-time faculty.
“Dr. Brown brings stellar qualifications and a learning philosophy that reflects the mission of Seattle Central. He was the clear choice from an excellent pool of candidates,” says Dr. Paul Killpatrick, president of Seattle Central. “I am grateful for the efforts of our college-wide search committee, which conducted a comprehensive and successful search.”
Dr. Brown was most recently the dean of student learning at Cascadia Community College. He has also served in two administrative roles at Whatcom Community College — associate dean for academic support and director of the learning center.
He was a tenured faculty member at Pierce College from 1997 to 2005 and has taught as an adjunct at Whatcom Community College and the University of Washington. He holds a bachelor of arts degree in political science from the University of Washington, a master of science in speech communication from Portland State University, and a doctor of education in curriculum and instruction from the University of Washington.
Brown began his new position on September 7.
