What is an Alumnus?

An Alumus is anyone who has had the opportunity to be involved in the life of Charles Sturt University or one of its antecedent institutions.  In most cases, Alumni are graduates, but CSU Alumni also consists of staff and students who have studied at the University but did not necessarily graduate.  CSU Alumni are a great collection of individuals.

Charles Sturt University Alumni

Charles Sturt University has a long and proud history in education which began in the late 1800's when both the Wagga Wagga and Bathurst campuses were Experimental Farms.  These farms were established in response to the plight of farming in the colony of New South Wales and were involved in the notable experimentation, education and research which changed the face of New South Wales agriculture.

Following this was a progression in education, from teachers' colleges, an agricultural college, colleges of advanced education and then to the establishment of Charles Sturt University in 1989.

Being an Alumnus makes you a part of this remarkable history and brings links for life.  Select Chapters from the side bar to find more information on the various Chapters of CSU Alumni.
