Representatives of schools, sports, and arts and cultural organisations will receive Charles Sturt University (CSU) Community-University Partnership (CUP) grants at a ceremony in Bathurst on Monday 1 December. The Head of Campus at CSU in Bathurst, Mr Col Sharp, will welcome recipients to the presentation. Recipients have been asked to briefly share details about their successful project application and will then receive a grant presentation certificate from Mr Sharp, followed by morning tea. "Charles Sturt University has restructured its campus-based community support arrangements this year to achieve greater equity and transparency in its contributions to external groups," Mr Sharp said. "The resulting Community-University Partnership (CUP) program has allowed us to make a financial contribution to many locally-based individuals and groups. This contribution is typically to assist a one-off event or project, or to help kick start an activity that will continue and provide value into the future. I am happy to say that the University in Bathurst was able to contribute to most of the applications it received in at least some way, and as a result many community-building activities will be assisted. This ceremony is about putting faces to names and projects, and building relationships rather than just giving money."
