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 –
Here we are, the last day of the Spring semester. We end the academic year with 1 active case of COVID-19. We experienced a peak of 6 active cases back in late January. You have all done a great job of taking care of yourselves, and of each other, and for that I am very, very grateful. You may have seen news yesterday about the CDC easing restrictions related to masks and social distancing. We have made great progress as a community, and as a country, navigating this pandemic. Closer to home, Public Health Madison & Dane County announced that while our current protocols remain in effect, we may expect an update on our local regulations sometime next week. Bottom line: masks work, and the vaccines are effective, and the light in the tunnel gets brighter each day.
I will see many of you tomorrow, when we celebrate Commencement on campus. We’re celebrating Liturgy at 9:00 am in St. Joseph Chapel, followed by 3 ceremonies honoring our graduates. The tent is up, chairs are being set as I write this, and our landscaping and grounds look sharp as can be. Thank you to all who are making this event – on our campus – into the special day that our graduates and their families will cherish.
Have a great, healthy, and safe summer. I look forward to this summer, and to our Return to Better in the fall. You have shown all that we are a community of learners, committed to a more just and compassionate world, and to each other. We do that best when we are together, in-person, at this remarkable place. I cannot wait.
Be well.
Cor ad cor loquitur.
