Kean University has joined nine other New Jersey public universities and colleges in issuing a call for the 120,000 state residents who attend higher education institutions out of state to transfer to a New Jersey school and help rebuild the state as a part of a new Scholar Corps program.
More than 1,700 Kean students shared their research in fields ranging from biology to business as the University’s annual Research Days conference became a virtual experience amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
