Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) School of Community Health will give high school students from around Albury-Wodonga a personal experience of study at CSU on Thursday 7 April. Over 90 students will work with CSU undergraduate students and staff for the day, following them through lectures, laboratory study and fieldwork, as the CSU students go about a ‘normal day’ in their studies as part of the University’s MyDay program. Head of the School of Community Health, Dr Gayle Smythe, said open days can only show a snapshot of university life, but “you have to ‘be a student for a day’ to see what it is really like. This is particularly important for the University’s degrees that are highly focussed on the allied health professions.” The Year 11 and 12 students are from 20 high schools from as far as North East Victoria, the Riverina and Central West NSW, as well as local Border schools.
