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.

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!

Dear Students and Colleagues –
This feels like another long week, don’t you think? Midterms are behind us, Election Day is behind us (though not all the results yet), but there is plenty ahead and we are less than three weeks from Thanksgiving. This can be a difficult part of the semester. Students – please reach out to your professors when you feel the need. Colleagues – let’s continue to stay focused on supporting our students and each other. I’m reminded by the weather and the forecast that an excellent way to take care of ourselves is to get fresh air by going for a run or a walk. Amy and I are reminded of the importance of getting out for a walk just about every day by our two four-legged family members, Guinness and Stella. They insist we get plenty of fresh air. Be kind to yourself and be sure to enjoy this late fall burst of sun and warmth.
We’ll begin registering for classes for the Spring in just a few more days. Be sure to be in touch with your advisor and your professors as you continue your academic journey. They are here to support you and assist with any questions. Use them! As a reminder, the Spring 2021 semester proceeds as scheduled—with spring break and Easter recess—and we will continue our practice of in-person undergraduate classes with remote options for both students and faculty. Online programs also will proceed as scheduled.
Thank you to all who have borne the brunt of the impact of this pandemic – many of you have made significant sacrifices for the benefit of our community’s health as we work together to limit the spread. And as we approach the holidays, keep in mind that the last thing anyone wants to do is place older relatives in harm’s way. Let’s continue to support each other. Wear your mask, wash your hands, maintain physical distance, and tighten your social circles. Let’s keep it up, and let’s do it for each other.
Be well.
Cor ad cor loquitur.
