A local group dedicated to improving educational and training opportunities for Indigenous people in Albury will meet for the first time at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Albury-Wodonga on Wednesday 19 October. President of the Albury Local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (AECG), Mr John Murray, said the meeting will allow educational leaders and community members to see CSU and what it might offer young Indigenous people. “For too long, many of our most capable people have not seen university as something they could do,” said Mr Murray. The group allows the local Aboriginal community to provide advice and discuss issues concerning the education and training of Aboriginal people. CSU Professor of Education, Bob Perry, said there were mutual benefits in holding the AECG meeting at the University.  “We already have many links through research and teaching with the local Aboriginal community and have a strong working relationship with the group. This event will also make Charles Sturt University more visible and attainable.” Around 25 people will attend the outdoor meeting in the David Mitchell Wetlands at CSU from 2pm on Wednesday 19 October, after a reception hosted by the Murray School of Education from1.30pm.
