Fall 2020 Update – We Made It

Dec 11, 2020, 11:45 AM

Dear Students and Colleagues – 

This is it, the last day of finals week. We made it. I talked quite a bit about gratitude at Thanksgiving this year, and that feeling is still with me. I am deeply grateful for the perseverance demonstrated by the students, faculty, and staff of this community. You worked together, did what needed to be done, and today I hope you feel like you’ve accomplished something that is both awesome and meaningful. Well done all!

Now it’s time to take a break. Remember that for the spring semester, we’ll follow the academic calendar as scheduled, which means spring break in March and Easter break in April. And we’ve just announced our intention to hold Commencement, as scheduled, in May 2021. Time will tell if that comes to pass, and a lot of things outside of our control need to go “right.” But I have every confidence – as evidenced by this semester we’ve just experienced – that as a community we will do what it takes to put ourselves in a place to celebrate our graduates in-person in May. We’ll still be masked-up in January, and we’ll still offer remote options for our in-person classes, but I hope you agree that even as we’re in the darkest days of the calendar, there is light ahead.

Tonight marks the second night of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights in the Jewish tradition. A blessing that is said on the first night thanks the Creator for keeping us alive, sustaining us, and bringing us to this season. Gratitude. Christmas is now two weeks away, and with it the joy of celebrating Christ’s birth, and a new beginning. My wish for you all – regardless of your faith tradition or spiritual alignment – is for the light and peace of the season now upon us to give you rest and sustenance. 

Be well, and be safe. Wear your mask. 

Cor ad cor loquitur.

In order to do everything we can to keep all of our community as safe as possible, the Edgewood College community will adhere to a number of safety protocols during the 2020-2021 Academic Year as a way of minimizing risk of the spread of COVID-19. These protocols are based on guidelines provided by Public Health Madison Dane County.

As a member of this Community, I will…

  • Wash my hands properly and regularly.
  • Cover any coughs or sneezes.
  • Comply with posted Public Health Madison Dane County requirements.  
  • Wear a mask covering my nose and mouth while in indoor spaces.
  • Maintain social distancing.
  • Assist in the use of disinfectant wipes to clean shared public workspaces prior to use.
  • Take reasonable precautions to avoid contracting COVID-19 both on- and off-campus.
  • Avoid public places and minimize interpersonal contacts if I have been exposed or have any symptoms of any illness.
  • Report any potential exposure or symptoms to the College and follow any instructions to seek medical care or to quarantine.
  • Agree to be tested for COVID-19, as prescribed by health care professionals. Agree to be cooperative and flexible as we work together to support one another and give our community the best balance of learning and safety.
