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 –
Back in October 2020, in one of my Updates for the fall semester, we heard from 20th century British politician Walter Elliot, who said “Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other.” In that update I announced the decision to leave our Spring semester as it was scheduled pre-pandemic. Which brings us to today.
Our community has earned this break, which is now upon us. Through the challenges and the protocols, the technology quirks and ever-present screens, you have persevered – we have won many short races, one after the other. For that I am profoundly grateful.
Many of us will get a break over the next several days, even as many of us will continue the work of the College keeping offices and services operating. Some of our students will travel, and some will remain on campus and in Madison. Whatever you schedule holds for the next week or so, please remember that this Spring Break is possible because of your dedication, your willingness to adjust and sacrifice, your commitment to our community. Also remember that the pandemic is not over. We must continue to be vigilant in our efforts to avoid contracting and spreading COVID-19.
Be well and be safe. Wear your mask, and keep your circles tight. Let’s keep going, and remember that we do all this for each other.
Cor ad cor loquitur.
