CSU dedicates nursing building

1 JANUARY 2003

A ceremony at Charles Sturt University (CSU) on Friday 25 May will honour Mrs Sheila Swain, AM, by naming the School of Nursing and Midwifery complex on the Bathurst Campus The Sheila Swain Building. Among her many distinctions, Mrs Swain was appointed to the Council of Mitchell College of Advanced Education (MCAE), which became part of CSU, in 1980 and was elected Chairman in 1984. Head of the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Professor Elaine Duffy, said the University continues to be enriched by Mrs Swain’s contribution.  “As well as her service to what was then Mitchell College, Mrs Swain has maintained her links with CSU and has generously funded five scholarships to assist female nursing students experiencing financial hardship while completing their studies. Mrs Swain is an inspiration and an outstanding role model for all women, and especially for female nursing students, and that is why we chose to honour her in this way,” Professor Duffy said.
