Total: Total number of cases (Active and Recovered) among Students, Faculty, and Staff, both on and off campus, since tracking began for the 2021-2022 academic year.
Active: Positive cases not yet recovered.

Able to resume normal activities.
As of Friday, May 13, 2022, we have suspended tracking cases for the 2021-2022 Academic Year.
To date, no cases of COVID-19 among the community of Edgewood College have required hospitalization.
Our Return to Better Task Force is taking steps to make that happen - not to return to ‘normal,’ but to return to better, applying all the lessons we have learned and continue to learn through the experience of the pandemic.
Again - getting vaccinated – for all who are eligible – is the best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We urge each member of our community to be vaccinated.

As a community we have followed the guidance of our public health professionals since the beginning of this pandemic. The CDC and the Wis. Department of Health Services recommends that all who are eligible be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Therefore, we too are strongly urging each member of our community to be vaccinated.
Students – we have created a simple form for you to update your COVID-19 vaccination status, and have sent you the link via email. You will indicate whether you have been vaccinated, whether you plan to but have not yet, or whether you do not plan to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Please complete this simple form now, and no later than Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2021.
There will be continued updates for students as we approach our fall semester, including some very attractive reasons for completing the form. (Did someone say ‘big scholarships?’ And ‘free parking spaces?’) Please remember to check your email often throughout the summer.
If you have any questions, please email deanofstudents@edgewood.edu. If you need assistance finding a vaccination appointment, reach out, we are here to help!
Enjoy your summer!

We are almost there!
I hope and trust your summer has had many bright spots, and I also hope you’re ready to get the fall semester underway in (now) less than two weeks.
Students – you received an email earlier this week with instructions on filling out a simple form to share your preferences about remote or in-person instruction for each of the classes for which you are registered. If you have not already done so, please take a moment and complete that task. It will help all of us be ready for a safe and engaging semester.
Faculty and staff are looking forward to reconnecting next week (in-person and remote) for August Seminar days – the semi-official start of the fall semester. Faculty and staff are receiving those details this week, but I can share that Anderson Auditorium will be able to accommodate several of us who would like to be in-person for these days. We’ll wear masks, and maintain prescribed physical distancing, but we’ll be together as a community as we continue to negotiate our world. In the opening session on Tuesday, August 11, you’ll hear updates from the Task Force Fall 2020 group, and the Dismantling Racism Task Force. We’ll also have some college updates, and some time for Q & A.
In the coming days, all of us will have the opportunity to make a commitment to our community, and to each other, by taking the necessary steps to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. We’ll deliver that pledge electronically, so you won’t miss it. This is not a legally binding document, and you won’t need an attorney to review it. We want it to be deeper than that; this pledge makes a statement about you, and about the part each of you plays in the health, safety, and vitality of this community. Each and every member of this community belongs here, should feel welcome here, and is integral to our mission to educate students for meaningful personal and professional lives. We do that best when each of us brings their gifts to the mix. In this Year of Community let’s hold each other up, reach out when we see a need, and become the model of a community that lives and learns together.
Be well!
Cor ad cor loquitur.
