As Touro’s Senior Vice President of Operations, Rosengarten will build on his proven track record as he serves as the University System’s chief operations and administrative services officer. He is responsible for providing leadership and oversight for real estate, construction and facilities planning as well as human resources, campus security and other auxiliary services.

“I am looking forward to working with Touro President Dr. Alan Kadish and his accomplished senior management team to contribute my experience and abilities in advancing Touro and its mission, at our main campus as well as branch campuses and programs around the metropolitan New York area, in our western division and abroad,” said Rosengarten.

“I am inspired by Touro’s dual mission to strengthen Jewish continuity and also to serve and support diverse communities, by offering world-class educational opportunities  to all members of society. I believe our role as Jews is to assist the entire world, sharing our skills and expertise—in education, science and culture—to benefit humankind. As one who knew Touro founder, Dr. Bernard Lander personally, I feel this is a homecoming. I was always enthralled by his creativity and success and am eager to help move his vision forward. I am joining Dr. Kadish’s team and the  Touro family  at an exciting time in its history as well as a pivotal time in my own professional career and I look forward to beginning the journey,” continued Rosengarten.

Rosengarten, who currently serves as Vice President of Administrative Services at Yeshiva University, began his professional career at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine where he directed the outpatient primary care clinics of the affiliated Jacobi Hospital Center. In 1982, Rosengarten arrived at Yeshiva University's main campus as Director of Personnel before assuming his current responsibilities for the various administrative supporting services departments across YU's three Manhattan campuses.  He earned a BA from Queens College of the City University of New York and pursued graduate studies in management and administration at the New School and Baruch College

“We are delighted to have Jeffrey Rosengarten come on board to serve Touro in this critical role. His vast and varied experience in organizing and overseeing large and complex university operations and managing important real estate transactions will undoubtedly serve Touro well,” said Dr. Alan Kadish.
