Celebrating a decade of educating health professionals

22 APRIL 2008

Celebrating ten years of educating physiotherapists and speech pathologists at Charles Sturt University (CSU) will be combined with a ceremony in Albury this week to highlight the achievements of current students. The existing CSU students from the School of Community Health will receive recognition for their academic excellence through the Dean’s Awards. They will be presented by CSU’s Dean of Science, Professor Nick Klomp in a ceremony at CSU’s Albury City site on Wednesday 23 April. During the same ceremony, CSU Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Ian Goulter will join past and current staff and students to commemorate the start of the physiotherapy and speech pathology courses at CSU’s Albury-Wodonga Campus 10 years ago. Both courses have produced over 200 graduates each. More than 60 per cent of those graduates have commenced their professional careers in regional Australia, helping address the allied health professional skills shortage across Australia. Early CSU physiotherapy graduates now hold senior posts in Victorian and NSW health services and are also involved with elite sports teams such as the Matildas national women’s football team. Both ceremonies will be held in front of The Cedar, CSU, Olive St, Albury, between 10.30am and 12noon on Wednesday 23 April.
