We will focus on our Andrea Michelle Sperka Scholarship, which honors a former Sociology major who tragically lost her life in an automobile accident in Botswana after completing her studies abroad during her senior year. Throughout her undergraduate years, Andrea carried a demanding academic schedule while working to help meet her educational expenses. In addition, Andrea often served as a volunteer, including work with homeless children in Madison and in South Africa. It is in Andrea’s spirit of helping others that her parents, Carol and Michael Sperka, created this fitting tribute. The Andrea Michelle Sperka Scholarship is gifted each spring to a Sociology major who exemplifies some of Andrea’s outstanding qualities.
