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. 

Student Scientists Develop Pollen Count App for Allergy Sufferers

Student researchers at the New Jersey Center for Science, Technology and Mathematics  will soon have something that could make the allergy season more manageable. They have developed AccuPollen™ Allergy Tracker, a new app that puts the pollen count at your fingertips.

Victor Jacobson, a student in the STEM program, developed the app under the guidance of Leonard Bielory, M.D., an allergist who is on Kean's STEM Advisory Board. Pollen count data is gathered by Research Facilities Manager Nan Perigo and her students at the new STEM Pollen Station at Kean University, located on the roof of the STEM Building.

AccuPollen is in beta testing now and will be available for Android and iPhone later this spring.
