He is a past president of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators, and he taught in the Boston College Graduate School of Education for 18 years and at two community colleges. Warner received his doctor of education degree in educational administration from Boston College, a master of education from Springfield College in student affairs administration in higher education and a B.A. degree in psychology from the University of Vermont.
