Congratulations to Kean University alumni Bruce Muñiz ’02 and Robert Young ’05, who recently reunited to launch Fountain of Youth Water in Roselle Park.

Both earned degrees in Graphic Management. Bruce founded Bamboo Graphics in 2004, building over 20 years of branding and creative experience, while Robert transitioned from gym ownership to senior leadership in printing and packaging. Now they’ve come together in a new entrepreneurial venture, demonstrating how Kean alumni turn their education and talents into exciting opportunities.
