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 –
A quick and very important update: a group of our colleagues is preparing to receive a second round of Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds from the federal government. Those funds will provide emergency relief to students directly impacted by the pandemic. Some students may recall last spring when many of you received “CARES Act” funds. We anticipate that we’ll ask students to complete a simple application (as you did then) to get the ball rolling. Students – please watch your email for that in the coming days, as the details are being finalized. We will share information as we are able – again, watch your email.
Even as we are hitting our stride this semester, it looks like winter in Wisconsin is as well. We’re seeing that today. The latest forecasts call for serious cold snaps to descend at the end of the weekend, and remain into next week. Students – please be in touch with your professors if severe cold/ice affects your commitments. Colleagues – please stay in touch with students and with the Office for Academic Affairs for any changes to schedules.
We’ve updated our COVID-19 dashboard, and as you can see we continue to do an excellent job of managing our work and our lives this semester. Let’s keep it up: be smart, limit your exposure, stay healthy, and keep your social circles tight. If you plan to gather to watch the Super Bowl (or what I like to call the “Packers-Aren’t-In-It-So-I’m-Here-for-the-Commercials Bowl”), remember that wearing your mask works in our shared commitment to slow the spread.
Be well.
Cor ad cor loquitur.
