25 JULY 2014
Indigenous education advocate Professor Jeannie Herbert AM has been appointed as the new Head of Campus at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Dubbo. Professor Herbert, who is based in Dubbo, is currently Pro Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous Education) and Foundation Chair of Indigenous Studies, positions she will continue to hold. "Professor Herbert has many years' experience in community engagement and is passionate about providing greater access to education for Aboriginal people," said CSU Vice-Chancellor Professor Andrew Vann. Professor Herbert said her key priority is building quality relationships between the University and the diverse community in the Dubbo and western regions of New South Wales. "Open and meaningful engagement with all these groups, will not only grow Charles Sturt University's capacity to deliver quality programs that reflect the learning needs of the communities it services, but will also increase the numbers of students from those communities, including Aboriginal students, successfully getting what they want out of their tertiary education," she said. Professor Herbert replaces Dr Beverley Moriarty as Head of Campus at CSU in Dubbo. "I would like to acknowledge and thank Dr Moriarty for her outstanding leadership of the Dubbo Campus over the last five years," said Professor Vann. Read more about Professor Herbert here.
