It is with sadness that Charles Sturt University (CSU) adds its condolences to the family of Mr Harold Mair, OAM, who recently passed away in Albury. As Mayor and a member of the NSW parliament, Mr Mair was a good friend and supporter of the University’s predecessor organisations, particularly during the establishment of the Albury-Wodonga campus. He received an honorary doctorate from CSU in recognition of “his energetic and effective advocacy towards the establishment and development of facilities in the Border region, including Charles Sturt University,” said the Acting Head of CSU in Albury-Wodonga, Mr Garry Taylor. The University’s central Albury campus was first established on its Olive Street site during Mr Mair’s time as the NSW Member for Albury. CSU only recently moved most of its research and teaching facilities to Thurgoona.
