Confronting COVID: Research & Reflections from Monmouth University Students in the Early Days of the COVID-19 Pandemic is a collection of both research and reflections of contributing Monmouth University student-authors. The essays, gathered in real time through April 2020, reflect various impressions and personal experiences of students during an unprecedented time not just for the university, but for the nation and the world. Per Prof. Jones, who collected and edited the material, "the writings help capture for posterity a critical period of time when the coronavirus suddenly paralyzed the nation." The collection is thought to be one of the first of its kind.
