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 –
Way back in August, you (hopefully) put your name to a pledge for the year. That pledge listed a number of steps we all agreed to, steps to slow and prevent the spread of the pandemic. Even if you thought that was silly, or it didn’t really matter one way or the other, that fact is we did it. Thanks to the perseverance of students, faculty, and staff, we are at the end of the 2020-2021 academic year. I know finals are next week, and many are wrapping up projects and papers, but you did it.
We’re preparing to celebrate that in a big way: Commencement ceremonies, on campus, a little more than a week from now. We’ll celebrate in-person, and our graduates are able to invite guests – not as many as might have attended in the past, but guests – loved ones to share in their accomplishments. If you are in one of the ceremonies next week, please accept my congratulations. We are looking forward to a great day, and to greater things to come for all of us.
There are a lot of moving parts in all of our lives at the moment – it certainly feels that way to me. Please finish strong, support each other, and whatever lies ahead for you in the coming days, know that you are up to the challenge. You did it! Many of you who are not graduating this year will have finished your finals by the time I send my message out next week. To you I say have a great, healthy, and safe summer. I look forward to seeing you all—live and in person—in the fall. You have succeeded in a year when the odds were against you. To the faculty who adjusted your teaching so dramatically in order to continue to serve our students, I say thank you; you are amazing. To the staff, who have stepped up to provide extraordinary service and support to our students through this odd pandemic year, I say thank you; I stand in awe.
Be well.
Cor ad cor loquitur.
