Two academics from Albury have won top honours in annual awards from Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Vice-Chancellor Professor Andrew Vann. Lecturer with CSU’s School of Environmental Sciences, Dr Rosemary Black has won the individual Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Professional Excellence, while Dr Jenni Munday, the Associate Head of the School of Education, won the individual Award for Teaching Excellence. Dr Munday said her award shows that universities such as CSU can provide high quality distance education that is “student-centred, collaborative and constructive, and along with the excellent work we do with the students we teach face-to-face on-campus”.  Dr Black received her award for her long commitment and significant contribution to environmental interpretation and tour guiding as a practitioner, teacher and researcher. Dr Black has had roles on international, national and regional committees such as the International Union for Conservation and Nature, the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, Interpretation Australia and Guiding Organisations of Australia. They will receive their awards from Professor Vann at a ceremony at CSU in Wagga Wagga on Wednesday 28 August. Read about other 2013 Vice-Chancellor’s Excellence Awards on CSU News here.
