Higher Education Leadership

She was selected in 2012 as Interim President for South Carolina State University, [4] a historically black university in Orangeburg, South Carolina. In 2014/15, she was appointed Interim President of Grambling State University in Grambling, Louisiana, where she brought stability to an institution that was in crisis. However, her management style generated controversy, leading to her decision not to seek the permanent presidency at Grambling. According to Quincy Hodges of The Times-Picayune, she "was able to streamline administrative operations; implemented aggressive student recruitment strategies and establish relationships with local, state, regional and national legislative and governmental representatives to support program and funding initiatives... raising more than $470,000 in donations." These achievements, notwithstanding, the University's Faculty Senate criticized her for "belittling faculty and staff;" for "failing to answer important and urgent questions;" and for taking "significant actions without consulting faculty members." In response, University of Louisiana System President Sandra Woodley issued a statement saying that "These are challenging times for Grambling and all of higher education," and added that " Warrick's leadership has been instrumental in putting the university on a path to success by making the tough decisions needed to affect positive change."

Warrick began her tenure as the Interim President of Stillman College in January 2017. [5] Prior to being named to this position, she was a Senior Fellow at the Thurgood Marshall College Fund and also served as president of the Society for Diversity in the Biomedical Sciences, based in Houston, Texas.
