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.

Areas of Expertise

I have extensive experience leading the evaluation of after school time programs in Title I school districts across the State of New Jersey. Similarly, I have worked on the evaluation of mentorship programs across the nation focused on restorative justice, equity, and systems change for young boys and men of color. At the higher education level, I have supported accreditation efforts through the development and validation of program evaluation tools as well as the collection, analysis, and dissemination of data. I am currently a reviewer for Urban Education, a Sage journal. I am also a peer reviewer for the American Educational Research Association, where I have reviewed manuscripts across multiple divisions and special interests groups, including (a) Research, Evaluation and Assessment in Schools and (b) Accreditation, Assessment, and Program Evaluation in Education Preparation. At Kean University, I currently serve as the Doctor in Education Program Coordinator. I also serve on various doctoral dissertation committees at the Departments of Educational Leadership and Counselor Education. I am further proud to serve as Mentor to one of Kean University’s Equity in Action Fellows.
