In response to the needs of graduates, Charles Sturt University (CSU) has moved its graduation ceremonies to the December of the year that students finish their studies. CSU in Albury-Wodonga will hold its graduation ceremonies on Friday 16 and Saturday 17 December. Head of Campus at CSU in Albury-Wodonga, Ms Sue Moloney, said, “Exit surveys of students indicated that they preferred to graduate the year they finished study, rather than return six months later when the majority have moved away to begin their careers - making it expensive or impractical to travel to Albury-Wodonga to celebrate. We are expecting nearly 800 graduates to cross the stage during three ceremonies, bringing with them up to 1 800 visitors to Albury-Wodonga, which again provides a welcome boost to the local economy.” These ceremonies will be held at Trinity College at Thurgoona.
