Charles Sturt will welcome approximately 1150 students from the University’s campus in Parramatta and study centres in Sydney and Melbourne to the graduation ceremonies, with the invitation extended to each students’ family and friends to celebrate their achievements.

Charles Sturt Vice-Chancellor Professor Andrew Vann said he was proud to share in the achievements of the students.

“Graduation is an important milestone which recognises years of hard work and dedication to study,” Professor Vann said.

“It’s always a pleasure to celebrate the success of our students and to share that with their families and friends.

“It’s also exciting to know that our graduates will be able to put their learning and research from Charles Sturt to work and to contribute to the community.”
