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 brief update here – I know you are all deep into the work of the semester.
Students - this is your last reminder (from me, anyway) to apply for Emergency Relief Funds. All students - undergraduate and graduate, part-time and full-time—may apply for these funds, which are available to offset costs and hardship brought on by the pandemic. You cannot receive relief funds if you do not apply for them. Review of those applications begins at the end of the day on Monday, March 1, 2021. If you have questions, please contact Edgewood Central.
See what I did there? Monday, March 1, 2021? A new month is almost upon us, and there’s great stuff happening on campus as we begin to emerge from a typical Wisconsin winter. Our students perform “The Theory of Relativity” this weekend. Friday, there’s a great in-person opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to enjoy “A Winter Wonderland” right here on campus – complete with a bonfire and “iceless” ice skating. And our student-athletes – now able to compete – are ramping up their seasons, including our Women’s Basketball team who play two games this weekend at Wisconsin Lutheran with the NACC Championship on the line.
I call attention to these events not because we’re returning to ‘normal.’ I hope you agree that we want to be better than what was considered normal. The improving weather, the lengthening of daylight hours, our students engaged both in and out of the classroom – these are signs of a community that continues to put in the time and energy into shaping a healthy and vibrant Edgewood College. For that I am grateful to all of you.
Let’s keep it up, wear our masks, and be there for each other
Be well.
Cor ad cor loquitur.
