Graduation honours for social justice work

31 MARCH 2009

A Charles Sturt University (CSU) student who has made a ‘tangible difference’ to the delivery of community and health services in rural and remote communities has received the Lila Kirilik Social Action Prize. Ms Lee-Anne Drewery will be presented with the annual social justice award when she receives her Bachelor of Social Work from CSU in Wagga Wagga on Thursday 2 April. Now employed as the Community Projects Officer for the Central Darling Shire Council in Wilcannia, Ms Drewery was selected by staff from the CSU School of Humanities and Social Sciences for her work while on placement at the council in 2008. “Lee-Anne completed a service mapping project of the towns of Wilcannia, Menindee and Ivanhoe with the hope of improving service delivery to this very disadvantaged region,” said CSU lecturer Dr Juliane Allan.  The Lila Kirilik Social Action Prize was established in 2004 in honour of the late Ms Lila Kirilik, senior lecturer in Social Welfare at CSU.
