A man with a long history in the Wagga Wagga region and with Charles Sturt University (CSU) has been selected as the new Head of Campus in Wagga Wagga. Mr Adrian Lindner has followed in the footsteps of his great grand-father, who settled on a property near Coolamon in 1895, now living and operating the same farm. With a background in accountancy and health administration, Mr Lindner joined CSU 18 years ago this month as the University’s Director of Finance. His roles across the University include as a Board Director of the University’s Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture (ACC&C) in Canberra and Chairman of the CSU Sustainability Program Committee. His first degree was completed at CSU’s predecessor institution, the Riverina College of Advanced Education in 1982. Before joining CSU, Mr Lindner worked in Balranald, Cootamundra and Junee. “I hope to emulate my predecessor Professor David Green in his strong and active commitment to Charles Sturt University and the local communities. The University is a tremendous asset to the Wagga Wagga community – educationally, culturally, economically and in the creation of new knowledge through research,” said Mr Lindner. Mr Lindner’s extensive involvement in the region includes in environmental activism, at a local private school and as an active participant in various churches.
