Cougar Link is a great resource for the Kean Community to utilize for various reasons. One of the main aspects of Cougar Link is that it lists all of the upcoming remote and in-person events hosted by various campus organizations and departments. This tool is a great way to get involved and stay connected, especially while being remote.
It is vital for students to remember the importance of being involved and making connections through different organizations while working towards their degree. While academics are essential to the college experience, one must remember the other aspects of the college experience, such as involvement. Through Cougar Link, one can still work to branch out and get involved while being remote.
