CaliAnne

CaliAnne Gospodarek, daughter of Wade and Michelle Gospodarek of Oconomowoc, has been awarded the $12,000 Ruth A. Knoll Scholarship to attend Carroll University, where she will study business administration and art. Through personal growth and reflection, CaliAnne has discovered a deep commitment to creating welcoming, meaningful spaces - ultimately aspiring to run and renovate an inn that reflects her artistic vision and care for others.

Her dedication to service and community is evident in her involvement in Students for Service Club, DECA, National and Business Honor Societies, and a variety of volunteer efforts. As a competitive athlete and server at Towner Crest Presbyterian Homes, she has consistently shown resilience, compassion, and empathy in both leadership and caregiving roles. CaliAnne’s journey has been shaped by a strong sense of purpose and a desire to uplift others through creativity, hard work, and heart.
