Welcome Back students! Make sure you Mask Up, Back Up, and Wash Up. Lets keep our community safe. Just like Eddy!
Any question, big or small, can be answered by the Dean of Students Office.
How can I Mask Up, Back Up, and Wash Up effectively on campus? Wear your mask! Masks should cover your nose and mouth and should be worn indoors in public spaces and outdoors when you can not effectively be physically distant from others. If you do not own a mask, you may purchase one in the Campus Store. Back Up: practice physical distancing by leaving 6 feet between you and others. Wash up: wash your hands often.
What should I do if I was exposed to someone with COVID-19? Report any potential exposure or symptoms to the Dean of Students Office and follow any instructions they provide to seek medical care or to quarantine.
What should I do if I see another student who isn't wearing a mask? Remember, this is the year of community. Please remind them nicely to wear their mask. We are all doing this for each other. Should you have questions, you may contact the Dean of Students Office.
How will office hours be managed? All support services are still fully available to you; some are just offered in a different way. For example:
Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,
Thank you again for the role each of you plays in making our community one that models compassion and partnership. We are in new and challenging times, and it’s important that we hold each other in our hearts.
At the President’s Council meeting yesterday, we made the decision to complete the remainder of the spring semester fully online. This is a disappointing decision for all of us, and one we had to make to provide safety and good health for everyone in our Edgewood College Community. Students, I know that you are sad, confused, disappointed and frustrated. This is not how you imagined your Edgewood College experience of Spring 2020 to unfold. Faculty and Staff, you are continuing to provide excellent education and service to our students, and yet you are experiencing the same feelings that they are. Being in a face to face venue provides us all with exceptional opportunities to build relationships and get to know each other in significant ways. Being physically at a distance deprives us of these opportunities. I am working from home, and am very disappointed and saddened that I am deprived of daily casual and serious contact with so many of you.
Many of us are working remotely, in our ongoing commitment to you, our students. Working remotely takes different forms for different units of the College. While there is limited access to buildings on campus, our semester will continue. Classes resume, fully online, on Monday, March 23, 2020.
Students – you will hear from Heather Harbach, Vice President for Student Development, very soon. Please continue to check your email for updated information.
True community – our community – recognizes that we humans are part of one family. We share responsibility for one another. We will ensure you are updated as things change, which they will. What will not change is our commitment to our students, to our shared community, and to each other.
Be well,
Mary Ellen Gevelinger, OP, Ed.D.
President
