Last week we had the 37th annual Monmouth University Authors Reception, where I had the distinct privilege of congratulating over 100 of our faculty on their publications and other creative endeavors during 2025. This was the tenth of these celebrations I have helped to present, and they represent an annual high water mark, to me, of what our work here is all about. A special time during this event is when I have the pleasure of presenting our Library Research Awards, this year to doctoral student Julianna Nichols and junior Honors student Sarah Schuld.
