The red carpet was rolled out for three environmental science students from Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Albury-Wodonga as they travelled to Wagga Wagga to hand deliver their PhDs on Thursday 5 August. Ms Alison Matthews from Albury, Ms Janet Cohn from Wodonga and Ms Eloise Seymour from Wahgunyah shared the trip to present their years of research to the University’s Centre for Research and Graduate Training for examination. Visibly excited and relieved at the conclusion to their doctorates, the women work for CSU, the NSW Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water, and the Victorian Department of Primary Industries. The three PhDs covered topics such as the common wombat, climate change and natural resource management. In accepting the PhDs, Ms Kim Stone from the University’s Centre for Research and Graduate Training congratulated the students and noted how unusual it was to receive three theses at one time.
