2021/2022 Recipient: Reema Gopal

Introducing Reema Gopal of Van Buren, AR as a new recipient of a Degen Scholarship. Reema attends the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville Eleanor Mann Nursing School and will graduate in December 2021. She was accepted into the nursing program early and is currently employed at Mercy in Rogers, AR as a patient transporter. She wanted to familiarize herself with the hospital and gain experience at the same time. She does plan to return to Fort Smith after graduation in order to secure a position where she can work with children - which is her passion. We cannot wait to see her smiling face somewhere in our area!
