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 Students Present at AIGA Warm-Ups

Jan 31, 2017

Kean University students Marc Louis Rosario and Jenn Abujawdeh presented at the AIGA NY Warm-Ups New Narratives in Motion event held at Parsons School of Design this December. Recognizing that millennials get most of their news via social media, Rosario and Abujawdeh developed a campaign focused on empowering people through Facebook. View their project, Facebook Actions, here.

"We created this campaign in an effort to bring light to community support and inspire others to be much more than bystanders in situations that don’t directly affect them,” said Rosario. “We were excited to share this idea in the presence of creative professionals."

Facebook Actions uses 365 degree video technology to help non-profit organizations create immersive experiences designed to raise awareness about contemporary social issues. Facebook Actions is designed to foster compassion and promote action that goes beyond the hashtag activism that is so popular today.

Warm-Ups is an AIGA NY education initiative designed to provide undergraduate design students in the New York metropolitan area with a platform to introduce their work to the AIGA community. In previous years, the most promising students from Parsons, Pratt, SVA, FIT and Cooper Union have presented their projects alongside industry leaders to AIGA’s audience of design professionals, educators and students. 

Presenters are nominated by department chairs and faculty from local schools.  Each student presents one project that they feel strongly about and that reflects the culture and pedagogy of their program.
