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.

Kean University is stepping up to the plate as a Proud Partner of the New York Yankees.

The partnership includes educational benefits for Kean students, including a project-based university course for students that is centered on problem-solving real world business and marketing topics presented by the Yankees. The Yankees will work with Kean’s Office of Career Services to identify internship and professional opportunities for which Kean students can apply. Kean will also have a presence at Yankee Stadium with both permanent signage and LED signage during Yankees games throughout the season.

This collaboration builds on the University’s existing professional sports partnerships with the New York Jets, New Jersey Devils and New York Red Bulls, which create academic and career opportunities for students by integrating professional sports into the educational experience.

“Partnering with the New York Yankees is an incredible opportunity for Kean students," said Lamont O. Repollet, Ed.D., president of Kean University. "By pairing Kean’s tradition of academic excellence with the Yankees’ legacy of success, this collaboration will provide our students with a first-class opportunity to explore the sports industry, engage in research and build valuable career pathways within the industry."

The New York Yankees-themed class, developed with the team, will provide students with advanced insights into the business operations of professional sports. Personnel from the Yankees will actively participate in the class, enriching the learning experience with their expertise.

““We are extremely excited about our relationship with Kean University — especially in having the opportunity to work closely with its students,” said Aryn Sobo, V.P., Human Resources, Employment and Labor Law. “Getting a foot in the door in the sports world can be extremely challenging for students and recent graduates entering the workforce. Being able to interact, engage and collaborate with our front office employees will greatly benefit Kean students as they create and navigate their path in the industry.”
