MADISON — Just several days after the end of another school year, Edgewood College looked to the future with the start of another building project.
As supporters and guests gathered on campus, Chair of the Board of Trustees Gary Schaefer welcomed everyone to what he called a “great occasion at Edgewood College.”
On Thursday, May 28, ground was broken on what will be the college’s newest residence hall.

MADISON — The Sonderegger Science Center on the campus of Edgewood College will soon be filled with opportunities to explore science through hands-on activities for learners of all ages (but mostly for the younger ones).
Many exploration stations allow young minds to investigate a wide variety of physical phenomena, chemical craziness, and biological beauty.
MADISON — For two weeks in late October, the Edgewood College campus had about 40 special guests, but they weren’t there to study.
Students, faculty, staff, and guests who walked near a wooded area on the southern part of the campus found a fenced area set up — for goats.
The goats were on hand to help the school’s Landscape and Grounds Department to clear invasive plant species along the shore of Lake Wingra.
The goats, quite simply, were brought in to eat the plants.
MADISON — As a crowded Anderson Auditorium on the Edgewood College campus waited on September 10 for the day’s “major announcement,” school President Dr. Dan Carey stepped behind the podium.
With a tone of gratitude to the entire college, Carey announced he will retire from his position at the end of the 2013-2014 school year.
Carey said it is a time to “transition to meaningful work” at an age when he is still healthy.
He thanked the Sinsinawa Dominicans, Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, and students for all their help in the successes of Edgewood College during his time there.
For many years, the Catholic Church on campus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has drawn a very large crowd of young adults for a night of catechesis, prayer, and community on Thursday nights.
When Matt Hasselbeck, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback, was a Boston College junior, he volunteered to spend eight days in the missions of Jamaica during spring break.
The people’s poverty shocked him. But their faith, especially the faith of George McVee, a leper, inspired him.
George, a horribly disfigured leper, had no money, no nose, no feet or hands. Yet he daily thanked God for his blessings.
