COVID-19 Resources

Rutgers University leaders are mobilized and involved in all aspects of university operations to keep our community informed to address the evolving challenges presented by COVID-19. Visit the university's COVID-19 information website for the most up-to-date information.

Below we've supplemented the university's information with resources specifically suited to assist our social work community of students, faculty, staff, field partners, and alumni serving on the front lines of this pandemic. From faculty and staff news highlights and academic publications, to community support and well-being resources. If you would like to recommend a resource for inclusion on this page, please contact mmolner@ssw.rutgers.edu. For official operating updates from the School of Social Work, check our news page.
