Transforming Lives: The Campaign for Kean University

Kean University is concluding an unprecedented campaign that has raised a more than $30 million from private philanthropic sources toward a campus-wide $350 million investment. Transforming Lives: the Campaign for Kean University is playing a vital role in the University’s plans to bring to fruition the next generation of educational programs, scholarship and fellowship initiatives, endowment components, and other capital endeavors.

The Campaign essentially covers six areas of priority. These include building upon our science and technology, history and visual and performing arts programs, so as to ensure that they will be categorized among the very best in our entire region; developing an institute that is solely dedicated to the study of human rights in our world; broadening the scope of our recently launched Global MBA program, so that it can prepare even more students for the challenges associated with an ever-changing economy and job market; and significantly increasing the amount of scholarship support for our students.

Specifically, the Capital Campaign focused on raising funds for four distinct sectors of University life:

Our Centers of Excellence: The New Jersey Center for Science, Technology, and Mathematics Education; Human Rights Institute; Center for Global and Specialized Management; School of Visual and Performing Arts; College of Humanities and Social Sciences/Liberty Hall Museum.

Student Empowerment: Scholarships and Fellowships; Mentoring, Summer Internships; Career Development.

Educator Investment: Named Professorships; Research and Scholarly Innovation; Professional Development; Visiting Professors.

Capital Resources: Nathan Weiss Graduate College; New Jersey Center for Science, Technology, and Mathematics Education; Human Rights Institute; Wilkins Theater; Residence Halls.
