University Authors Honored in a Virtual Reception Cheng Library hosted the first virtual reception to celebrate the scholarly achievements of University faculty & staff In April, the Cheng Library hosted the first virtual reception to celebrate the scholarly achievements of University faculty and staff and produced the 2021 Authors’ Bibliography. The 2021 bibliography contains the works of University authors who published in 2020. The reception honored authors from 2020 and 2019 due to pandemic related disruptions. WPUNJ faculty continue the fine tradition of producing great scholarship to improve their disciplines and enhance the teaching-learning experience at William Paterson University, even in a year in which the COVID-19 pandemic brought many challenges to our lives and greatly affected how we do things. The virtual reception was hosted by the Library and Dean Edward Owusu-Ansah and featured remarks from University President Richard Helldobbler and Provost and Vice-President of Academic Affairs Josh Powers. The virtual reception included commentary from several University authors about their publications and ongoing research efforts. The 2021 Authors’ Bibliography features 14 book publications and over 240 book chapters, scholarly articles, and published conference proceedings. The 2021 bibliography and video of the virtual reception are located on the University Author Reception website along with previous annual bibliographies: https://wpunj.edu/library/authorreception October 11, 2021
