Charles Sturt University (CSU) Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Andrew Vann, will join CSU Alumni and community members in Port Macquarie for a cocktail reception on Monday 25 November. Director of CSU in Port Macquarie, Dr Muyesser Durur, said the NSW Mid North Coast is home to almost 700 CSU Alumni from all Faculties and campuses. "There is a strong and vibrant community of Charles Sturt University graduates in the area, and that's one of the reasons we've had such support for the new campus which we will begin building in 2014," she said. "Alumni evenings like this are a great opportunity to catch up with old friends, or meet new people with a common interest. We'd like to invite alumni, and interested community members, to join us on the night." CSU graduate Mr John Nolan will be the guest speaker at the event. Mr Nolan is an Associate Member of the Australian Psychological Society, the Australian and New Zealand Association of Psychiatry, Psychology and Law, the Australian Professional Society of Alcohol and Drugs, the Australian Association for Cognitive and Behaviour Therapy, and a Senior Fellow of the Corporate Directors Association.
