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.

Dr. Lin is a professional counselor, counselor educator, and researcher who joined the Department of Counselor Education at the College of Health Professions and Human Services in Kean University in 2022. Her current research interests are focused on: (1) exploring the impact of East Asian ideologies/philosophies (i.e., Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism) on psychological well-being, attitudes toward mental-health help seeking, and culturally informed attitudes and behavior globally, and (2) bridging the understanding of East Asian ideologies to studies of mindfulness and psychological flexibility processes to examine underlying mechanisms of change (e.g., self-compassion) in people’s daily lives across cultures.   

She currently teaches counseling skills, doctoral teaching internship, and doctoral statistics at Kean University, and throughout her career as a faculty member, she has also taught multicultural counseling, counseling theories, master’s research methods, and various others. With a multidisciplinary and bicultural background, she firmly believes that cultural and social contexts play a pivotal role in shaping individuals’ mind, attitudes, behavior, which, in turn, influences how they respond to life events and molds their social interactions. As a result, she is dedicated to incorporating these factors in her teaching, supervision, research, and clinical work. Her goal is to enhance students’ self-awareness, deepen their understanding of the human mind to promote wellness, and reduce barriers to providing effective counseling treatment.

She is an active member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the Association of Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES). She currently serves on the editorial board of International Journal for the Advancement of Counselling and as a reviewer for several other scholarly journals.
