Retired
Greg Novacek retired at the end of 2020 after 40 years at WSU. He was Director of
the Lake Afton Public Observatory when that was run through WSU and showed the stars
to tens of thousands of observatory visitors. Through the Fairmount Center for Science
and Mathematics Education (FaCSME) he did presentations in public schools and was
the State Director for the Kansas Science Olympiad for nearly 30 years. He helped
train hundreds of elementary and middle school teachers and taught courses in Physics
and Education. Untold batches of ice-cream prepared with liquid nitrogen brought smiles
to the attendees of his presentations. Happy retirement, Greg!
