Total: Total number of cases (Active and Recovered) among Students, Faculty, and Staff, both on and off campus, since tracking began for the 2021-2022 academic year.
Active: Positive cases not yet recovered.
Recovered:
Able to resume normal activities.
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 Faculty & Staff,
Thank you again for the role each of you plays in making our community one that models compassion and partnership. We are in new and challenging times, and it’s important that, in addition to putting our students first, we hold each other in our hearts as well.
Most faculty and staff will work remotely beginning Tuesday, March 17, until further notice. Staff should check in with their supervisor to determine roles and responsibilities, as working remotely takes different forms for different units of the College.
The President’s Council and I made this decision this morning. We arrived at this decision in pursuit of social distancing, but there’s more to it; our Catholic social teaching tells us that Compassion – our shared value – means the most vulnerable among us of us merit first consideration in our circle of concern. And true community – our community – recognizes that we humans are part of one family, and shares responsibility for one another.
Circumstances around COVID-19 are changing rapidly. Please check your email frequently during business hours through the days ahead. Please stay in close touch with your supervisor.
In the meantime, we will ensure you are updated as things change, which they will. What will not change is our commitment to our students, to our shared community, and to each other.
Be well,
Mary Ellen Gevelinger, OP, Ed.D.
