Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Dubbo will welcome approximately 155 new students when Orientation Week begins on Tuesday 26 February before the start of the 2013 academic year the following Monday. Dr Bev Moriarty, the Head of Campus at CSU in Dubbo, said, “On behalf of students and staff I extend a very warm welcome to all our new students. We are very excited to be part of this next very important part of their lives and I hope they find the campus to be very friendly. There are also many organisations and individuals in the community who wish them well and look forward to them completing their studies successfully. I trust they will enjoy being part of the University community and find their own special way of contributing to it as they take their journey with friends and colleagues.” There will be an official welcome at 11am Tuesday 26 in the campus courtyard, followed by a barbeque, with a general meet and greet for students at 6pm. Information sessions for students in the faculties of Arts, Business, Education and Science will continue daily for the rest of the week, and there will be social events in the evenings.
