Fresh off the presses! Edgewood College will be renamed to Edgewood University effective July 2025.
From College President Mansion:
"We have made it official: Edgewood College will be renamed Edgewood University in July of 2025.
In 2027 we will celebrate 100 years of advancing our mission since our founding by the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa. As we position the institution to flourish in our second century, the time is right to celebrate by making this change to honor our past, and to embrace the future. The Board of Trustees of Edgewood College and the leadership council of the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa have approved the new name, which will take effect July 1, 2025.
Edgewood College has been effectively operating as a university since 1986, when our first advanced degrees were added to the academic portfolio. In 2001, our first doctoral degree was added, and the number of those programs has grown, and continues to grow. While our adult and graduate program partnerships are expanding the reach of our mission, our commitment to our traditional, undergraduate students remains steadfast. As you know well, the students who make their home here on Monroe Street for four years are living stewards of the mission that we inherit and embrace."
I certainly think this change makes sense as Edgewood has long since offered education above the undergrad level.
