Student Placement Office Team Engaged in the Kean Community

11/14/24 The Student Placement Office Team jumping in to help with the "Dress for Success Pop-up Shop."  Kean offers this unique event each year to support students preparing to enter the professional world. Students from all majors were able to find some hidden gems that will give them that edge and build confidence for  their next interview or internship.  


11/14/24 Our very own, Dr. Daun Ward with Ndaba Mandela, Nelson Mandela’s grandson. The two found a common bond, as Dr. Ward's father-in-law had a personal friendship with the late, Nelson Mandela, and the two were able to connect through personal photos she was able to share with him.

Ndaba Mandela gave a lecture to the Kean community, echoing his late grandfather’s message of reconciliation, healing and justice for all and spoke passionately about Africa, its people, and its future.

As a Senior Human Rights Fellow at Kean this year, Mandela will spend a week working with students and stakeholders and lead Kean’s Human Rights Travelearn during spring break.

What an honor and privilege for Dr. Ward to discuss and share the history of where their two lives intersect.
