About Patience
Hello, my name is Patience Wise and I will be graduating from the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith this semester with a Bachelors degree in Social Work.
​
Upon graduating with my BSW, I will be attending the Advanced Standing MSW program with an emphasis on Advanced Direct Practice at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock with an estimated graduation date of May 2022. I will then take the necessary steps to obtain Social Work licensure in the State of Arkansas.
​
Through my undergraduate studies, I found myself drawn to serving children and families. Although I am not set on a career direction just yet, it is my hope to gain experience working with this population through my graduate-level field internship placements.
