Bruce Snead, President of the Discovery Center Foundation Board, has announced that William Smriga of Manhattan is the new Director of the Foundation.
Smriga was the director of the K-State for many years and is a volunteer at the Discovery Center.
'I am excited for this new opportunity and look forward to working with everyone, " said Smriga. "There are challenges facing the Discovery Center, but I have confidence that I can help meet these challenges through this position."
"Bill's experience in hosting major events at the Union will help us as we plan our next Friend of the Flint Hills virtual celebration on Oct. 24, when we recognize the Flint Hills Map and Education project led by Emily Connell and Anne Wilson, " said Snead. Smriga replaces V. Marie Martin who retired in March after six years of service to the Foundation.
