This week, our Wolves are on the road at the National CEC (Council for Exceptional Children) Conference. Dr. Cheryl Wold was able to meet up with NSU Alumna, Dr. Kimberly Paulson, Assistant Director of the IRIS Center at Vanderbilt University. Additionally, she and several NSU students were able to table at the event and enjoy several amazing presentations…including those of Dr. Wold and Dr. Vogel, Superintendent at the South Dakota School for the Blind and Visually Impaired!

Congratulations, Renea! 🥳

Each year, CEC recognizes both an undergraduate and a graduate student who has made outstanding contributions in service to CEC and to children with exceptionalities. These extraordinary young people are the future leaders in the special education field, and we are grateful for their early dedication and commitment to the success of youth with exceptionalities.
