Distance no hindrance to study

1 JANUARY 2003

Distance is no hindrance to Charles Sturt University (CSU) agricultural business student Rebecca Huth, who will travel to Wangaratta with three other CSU students for study sessions that support their distance education learning. Employed by the National Centre for Dairy Education Australia in Western Victoria as an industry trainer, the third generation dairy farmer and former business owner based near Terang was looking for a challenging course that also recognised her 15 years involvement in dairying and her aim to improve the industry. “The Bachelor of Agricultural Business Management was a natural progression for me, as it recognised my previous studies for the Advanced Diploma of Agriculture with GOTAFE. With great support and flexibility, the course enables me to actively learn and broaden my knowledge without repeating what I already know,” said Ms Huth, who is among the first group of students to commence their studies at CSU’s Wangaratta study centre. Ms Huth won a scholarship to assist her CSU studies and said that apart from building on her knowledge and experience, “I also hope to develop personal networks and broaden my knowledge of the broader agricultural industry”. Faced with a five hour drive from Western Victoria, Ms Huth is sure to get to know her fellow students better! The students will gather on Wednesday 8 May for a session at the CSU centre in Wangaratta.
