Due to the ongoing winter storm and cleanup operations, all Kean campuses will continue to operate remotely on Tuesday, February 24. 

All classes and activities will be conducted remotely during this time. Employees will also work remotely. Only those employees deemed essential during weather emergencies should report to campus. Employees with questions about their status should consult their supervisor.
