Kean University will shift to remote operations on Sunday, October 12, due to the State of Emergency declared across New Jersey in response to the forecasted nor’easter storm. All classes scheduled for Sunday on New Jersey campuses will move to remote instruction, and all in-person activities are canceled.
Only essential personnel should report to work as required. Employees with questions should contact their supervisors for guidance. Keanu’s Kitchen on the Union campus will remain open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday to serve residential students.
The most important skill to teach students in any scientific discipline is critical thinking. I emphasize the scientific method in my classes, fostering creative problem-solving and scientific reasoning in students to help prepare them for the challenges of a career in science. I also encourage active engagement and student participation. Students learn more when they are involved hands-on.
