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. 

Kean Research Days to Showcase Student, Faculty Discovery

Students display research at Research Days 2022.

More than 1,300 Kean University students will present their research during the University’s annual Research Days, a multi-day celebration of knowledge and discovery taking place Monday, April 24 through Wednesday, April 26.

Internationally-known theoretical physicist Michio Kaku, Ph.D., will launch the event with a lecture on The Future of the Mind as part of the President’s Distinguished Lecture Series.

Graduate and undergraduate students, and faculty, will present their research – as posters, and in panel discussions and pre-recorded oral presentations – on Tuesday and Wednesday at STEM, Harwood Arena, and Liberty Hall Academic Center on Kean’s Union campus. 

Research Days will also be held at Kean Ocean on Tuesday, April 25, and at Wenzhou-Kean University on Wednesday and Thursday, April 26-27.

“Research Days is a showcase of the pursuit of knowledge and excellence at Kean University and is a major event in our academic calendar,” said Kean President Lamont O. Repollet, Ed.D. “The high level of engagement among students and faculty speaks to Kean University’s growing reputation as New Jersey’s urban research university.”

Events are open to the University community. The schedule of events is available online.

Reenat Munshi, acting director of the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs at Kean, said research broadens the educational experience of Kean students and offers opportunities to develop strong professional relationships with faculty and fellow researchers. 

Many student researchers became involved through Kean’s Center of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships, or CURF, which provides resources and support for undergraduates in faculty-mentored research projects.

Research Days also highlights Kean’s focus on diversifying STEM fields, with a large number of women involved in research at the University, especially in the sciences, Munshi said.

“We are graduating strong female scientists, many of them women of color, who will climb higher and make a difference,” Munshi said.
