6 MAY 2017

Charles Sturt University (CSU) will hold a dedication ceremony on Monday 8 May to posthumously honour the life of Mr Geoff Honey, Executive Director of Student Administration. The ceremony from 10am under the Chinese elm tree at CSU in Wagga Wagga will mark the first anniversary of the 51 year old's sudden death on Sunday 8 May, 2016.A plaque has been organised by the Wagga Wagga High School classmates of Mr Honey and CSU.In addition, a Charles Sturt University Foundation scholarship has been established in his name. The annual Geoff Honey Memorial Scholarship provides valuable support to a new CSU student experiencing financial hardship.Mr Honey's widow Cheryl Honey, who also works at CSU, said she was very touched her husband would be remembered in this way."Geoff would be delighted with this honour and would wish me to thank everyone involved," Mrs Honey said.CSU Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration) Professor Ken Dillon said the scholarship was something that Geoff would have liked."Geoff was a long serving Executive Director of Student Administration and I think he would be a bit chuffed with this new scholarship offered through the Charles Sturt University Foundation," Professor Dillon said."We all miss Geoff and this dedication will help us remember his significant personal and professional contributions to the University and the Wagga Wagga community."During graduation at CSU in Wagga Wagga in December 2016, the University Council posthumously conferred the title of Doctor of Business (honoris causa) on Mr Geoff Honey.
