Kean University is hosting an Open House on the main campus (Kean Hall), 1000 Morris Avenue, Union, NJ, on Saturday, June 7, 2008 at 11:00am for the purpose of developing new student cohorts in the Certificate of Emergency Management Program. The University is pleased to announce that Mr. John J. Farmer, former Attorney General of the State of New Jersey, and senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission will be the guest speaker for this event. Mr. Farmer will speak on the importance of education in the emergency management function. He will be available to meet with attendees, as well as for photographs.

The Open House forum allows potential students to visit the main campus in Union and to meet with faculty and staff to discuss how the Kean Certificate in Emergency Management can help to advance a person’s knowledge and experience in emergency management. The program consists of five (5) courses: Introduction to Emergency Management; Crisis Communication in the Public Sector; Intelligence Function; Terrorism Preparedness and Society; and Bioterrorism and Public Health Policy. Classes can be taken at the graduate level (15 credits) toward a masters degree in criminal justice, or as continuing education (15 CEUs).
