Former EVSC Superintendent David Smith has accepted a new job. WNIN’s John Gibson has more:
The University of Evansville says Dr. Smith has been named the first Sustainability Coordinator for the Evansville Promise Neighborhood.
The University was awarded the Promise Neighborhood grant in 2023 and UE says Smith’s new position is a major milestone in ensuring the long-term success of the initiative “well beyond the life of the federal grant.”
Dr. Smith says he wasn't looking to stay busy in retirement, but was looking for something “truly meaningful."
UE says Smith will be an employee of the Center for Innovation and Change which houses the Promise Neighborhood and will work to identify fundraising opportunities.
The goal is to improve outcomes for children and families.
