Mission

The Kean University Alumni Association's purpose is to promote the growth, status and mission of the University; to maintain a liaison between the alumni and the University community; and to develop alumni services as a means of encouraging alumni to maintain a continuing relationship with the University, its students, programs and events. The mission of the Alumni Association is to foster alumni loyalty, involvement and support.

About the Board

The Alumni Association is governed by a 24-member Executive Board, broadly representative of the whole alumni body. This elected group of dedicated alumni volunteers consists of individuals whose lives have been enriched by Kean University, who take pride in their university's accomplishments and who wish to maintain a strong personal and professional tie with their alma mater. The Association's Executive Board and its committees meet regularly in the Ruth Horowitz Alumni House to plan programs and interact with the University community. The Alumni Association works jointly with the University to offer a wide variety of programs, activities and services to encourage continued alumni involvement.
