FAQ:  

How can I Mask Up, Back Up, and Wash Up effectively on campus?  Wear your mask! Masks should cover your nose and mouth and should be worn indoors in public spaces and outdoors when you can not effectively be physically distant  from others. If you do not own a mask, you may purchase one in the Campus Store. Back Up: practice physical distancing by leaving 6 feet between you and others. Wash up: wash your hands often. 

What should I do if I was exposed to someone with COVID-19?  Report any potential exposure or symptoms to the Dean of Students Office and follow any instructions they provide to seek medical care or to quarantine. 

What should I do if I see another student who isn't wearing a mask? Remember, this is the year of community.  Please remind them nicely to wear their mask. We are all doing this for each other. Should you have questions, you may contact the Dean of Students Office. 

How will office hours be managed? All support services are still fully available to you; some are just offered in a different way. For example:  

  • All seating areas for Phil’s and Wingra have been spaced out for social distancing. Also, Stations that used to be self-serve are now either served by Dining Staff or are single packaged items.  
  • Health Services will see students for non-COVID concerns by appointment only. Personal counseling will be provided via telehealth. 
  • Current information on library services during COVID-19 is available on on the library website.

An Update on Fall 2020

Title : An Update on Fall 2020
Posting Date / Time : Jun 11, 2020, 14:00 PM
Dear Students and Colleagues –

Please allow me to bring you an update on the fall semester, now just a bit more than two months away.

Our work continues on creating the safest possible campus community when classes for the fall semester begin on Wednesday, August 19, 2020.

As you know, Margaret Noreuil, Interim V.P. for Academic Affairs, and I are leading a task force to examine and then implement the necessary steps to return for on-campus, in-person living and learning. This group has been meeting twice a week since May 15.

By the end of this week, we’ll have had six meetings with faculty (via WebEx) to gain feedback and input for changes we need to make to “normal” in order to accomplish this goal. I can share with confidence this fall will not be normal. That said, we remain open to doing whatever we need to do to deliver an experience that will be significantly better than what we all experienced during the Spring. I have heard from a number of students and appreciate that some of you want very badly to return to campus, while others have a need to avoid being in crowds. We are working to meet the needs of all of our students.

We’ll likely employ significant technology and we’ll certainly leverage our size to address student (and faculty and staff) concerns related to social distancing and best practices. As is true today on campus, we’ll heed the recommendations of the CDC, and Dane County Public Health, and we’ll continue to take reasonable precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

This work is time-sensitive. I expect to share a decision on how we’ll proceed this fall sometime next week. As a reminder, I’ll do my best to share what we know when we know it. 

Be well, and I look forward to welcoming you to the Year of Community at Edgewood College in August!
