Almost 3 000 new students are expected to descend upon Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) six Campuses on Monday 19 February for the beginning of Orientation Week. At CSU’s Dubbo Campus, O Week starts on the Monday and new head of campus, Mr Gary Shipp has invited indigenous leaders to join new students at the welcome ceremony between 1pm and 1.30pm. This will be followed by a BBQ for students and family.  As well as social events, the week will include information sessions about courses, enrolment and living on and off-campus. New students can learn about CSU’s online services, electronic communications, library and student services. Student coordinators and leaders will wear orange shirts with paw and claw prints to reflect the 2007 Safari theme and, to compliment the theme, new students will visit Western Plains Zoo on Friday 23 February. Paul Shaw, Senior Program Coordinator said CSU staff look forward to a busy week. “It is a very mad week - in a good way.”
