The Chancellor of Charles Sturt University (CSU), Mr Lawrie Willett, AO, and the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ian Goulter, will introduce and welcome Professor Andrew Vann as the recently-announced new Vice-Chancellor of the University at a media conference at CSU in Bathurst at 10.30am Thursday 30 June. Professor Goulter announced late last year that he would leave CSU at the end of 2011. Professor Vann, who is presently Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor of James Cook University in north Queensland, was chosen as his successor following an international recruitment search. He will take up his appointment in January 2012. Staff of CSU, representatives of media organisations, local government councillors, and members of parliament are invited to attend. Light refreshments will be served.
