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!

Madison, Wis. (April 8, 2020) – Sr. Mary Ellen Gevelinger, Interim President of Edgewood College, today announced the Presidential Relief Fund.
“Today, at my request, the Board of Trustees approved a $500,000 student relief fund,” Gevelinger said, “This provides immediate cash relief for students. So many service industries that our students rely on for employment are affected. We are fortunate to be able to offer a program that will provide some support for our students to help with basic needs like groceries, rent and unexpected expenses during this national and global health crisis.”
Under the Presidential Relief Fund undergraduate students may apply for a grant of up to $1,500 paid in installments in May, June, and July 2020. The goal of the fund is to assist as many students as possible to continue their course of study at Edgewood College in the fall.
“We’ve heard the concerns of the students and in the spirit of Dominican partnership we want to demonstrate that we are in this together,” Lucy Keane ’84, Chair of the Board of Trustees, said. “Edgewood College is defined by the success of our students. This program helps create a bridge to the fall semester for hundreds of students who are simply hoping to return to Edgewood College this fall.”
College administrators are finalizing the details of the program with the expectation that applications for the Presidential Relief Fund will begin on or around April 15. The College also offers a student emergency fund if students are facing an urgent financial need outside the terms of the grant.
