Charles Sturt University (CSU) students at the Wagga Wagga Campus are contributing to the social fabric of the Riverina in regional NSW, by supporting charities that assist those in our community who are less fortunate or are struggling to make ends meet in these tough times of drought. Students in the CSU Halls of Residence pay 50 cents at each social barbecue that they attend during the year, with this money donated to charity. In 2007, students raised nearly $2 700 which will be donated to the Salvation Army - Wagga Wagga Drought Appeal and Movember. The cheques will be handed over to representatives of the charities by CSU students at the Full Board Christmas Dinner commencing at 6pm on Thursday 15 November in the student dining room.
