When Spero was created at Wichita State University’s Barton School of Business, the vision was clear: build a program that gives people access to practical skills, meaningful relationships and real pathways to employment, entrepreneurship and long-term economic mobility.
As the Barton School begin Spero year three, philanthropic support remains at the core of its focus to continue delivering our high-impact programs that transform people’s lives and rewrite their futures.
Steve and Regine Feilmeier have made a $500,000 gift to Spero, strengthening the program’s ability to serve participants across Wichita as they pursue career advancement, business ownership and greater economic independence.
