Welcome to Edgewood College Noah Van Vooren!

This morning there was an article posted from theblaze.com which gave a shout out to Noah Van Vooren. Noah was overjoyed to find out that he was accepted into Edgewood College's "Cutting Edge Program" which is a program specifically for individuals with intellectual developmental disabilities in Madison, WI. His response to his acceptance is priceless! He is elated and shows what it means to be truly proud and excited for the next chapter in life. It is so funny that I came across this article because I myself have recently been accepted into University of Wisconsin's doctoral program in Rehabilitation Psychology that is in Madison, WI. During my time at UW-Madison I will spend my time learning about people with disabilities. I wonder if our program has any connection to the Cutting Edge Program. The program seems to be a great resource! It is especially impressive how well their alumni do once they graduate. The Cutting Edge Program's website reports, "The Alumni of the Cutting-Edge has reached 35 students that have completed the program. Of the 35 alumni, 70% are employed since leaving Edgewood College and 40% are continuing to pursue higher education." It is amazing to see how motivated individuals with intellectual developmental disabilities are! I am so proud and happy for Noah and all future students that are accepted into this amazing program and maybe when I move to Madison, WI I will have the chance to interact with this community!
