Please help us remember Andrea Sperka and help other generous students like her this Day of the Badger.
The Andrea Michelle Sperka Scholarship is awarded each spring to a sociology major who exemplifies the outstanding qualities of a bright and talented former sociology student. This fund was established by Carol and Michael Sperka in memory of their beloved daughter, Andrea Michelle Sperka. Andrea was a senior when she tragically lost her life in an automobile accident in Botswana after completing her studies abroad.
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 Carol and Michael Sperka created this fitting tribute.
By giving to this fund, you can make things a bit easier for sociology majors who go out of their way to make the world a better place, just like Andrea did.
