The is the result of William Paterson University’s decision to prevent person-to-person transmission by closing campus, moving all courses online, and having all but the most essential employees work from home. This followed directives of the Governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, as well as recommendations and directives from Federal agencies. Since William Paterson University closed itself to in-person contact came only weeks before our activities were to begin, we chose to move online using the EXPLORATIONS webpage to list presenters by session, posting presentations that were submitted, and encouraging email- based dialog on those presentations, and to publish the abstracts that had been received in this booklet. The webpage is www.wpunj.edu/osp/explorations. The College of Education elected to present its sponsored session online on April 21.
