Impending Winter Storm

Due to the impending storm, all classes and activities at Kean’s main campus in Union, Kean Ocean and Kean Skylands will operate remotely on Sunday, January 25, and Monday, January 26. 

The University will observe a Winter Wellness Day on Tuesday, January 27, following the storm. Classes and activities will not run, and employees are not expected to work. 

Due to ongoing power problems at the Kean Ocean Gateway Building, all classes and activities at Kean Ocean will also be conducted remotely on Friday, January 23, and Saturday, January 24. This only applies to Kean Ocean. 

Only essential personnel should report to work as scheduled during the remote period or on Tuesday. Employees with questions about their status should consult their supervisor. 

Keanu’s Kitchen will remain open for residential students on the Union campus from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Tuesday. 

All vehicles parked on the Union campus must be relocated to the Vaughn-Eames overnight parking lot by 6 p.m. on Saturday to allow for storm cleanup. Vehicles parked elsewhere on campus are subject to relocation. 

Architecture Student Excels in California

Christian Garganta, rising senior in the B.A. Architectural Studies program, won an Excellence in Design Award from the California chapter of the Society of American Registered Architects (SARA) for a third-year studio project carried out with EIA Fellow Prof. Camille Sherrod. Both attended the awards program in Napa California in February. https://www.saracalifornia.org/sara-ca-design-awards

The project was initiated as a team project that included his classmates, Emma Sanabria and Lusi Rossi. Christian then continued to develop the project on his own raising to its award level. "I am so thrilled to have received this recognition. I have never been to the west coast of the US and it is my first time traveling to California. The award is great and the experience even better," said Christian.

“With this award and its experience at the ceremony in Napa, California, Christian was among many outstanding professional architects and was able to gain valuable connections for future internships. Mentoring Christian has been rewarding in many ways," said Kean Assistant Professor Camille Sherrod.
