The phrase ‘You deserve a medal’ will ring true for some long-serving staff members at Charles Sturt University (CSU) this week. CSU Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Andrew Vann will present medals to six staff for 30 and 20 years of service to the University and its predecessor institutions. Among those receiving a medal is former Head of the University’s School of Education in Wagga Wagga and researcher with the Centre for Indigenous Studies and Research Institute for Professional Practice, Learning and Education, Associate Professor Ros Brennan-Kemmis, AM, for her 20 years of service. “In these 20 years Charles Sturt University has grown and matured as a regional and international university. It has been a wonderful place to work full of opportunities and wonderful colleagues and friends,” she said. “Every morning as I walked to my office from the car park I thought of the amazing privileges that the University provided and the opportunities for teaching and research that have enriched my life in so many ways.” Professor Vann will present the medals to the staff over lunch in the Chancellor's Room in the Convention Centre at CSU in Wagga Wagga from noon on Wednesday 11 September.
