The support Charles Sturt University (CSU) offers staff serving as Reservists in the Australian Defence Force (ADF) has been publicly recognised at a reception at the Army Recruit Training Centre at Kapooka on Thursday 24 February. Head of the Cadet, Reserve and Employer Support Division of the ADF, Major General Paul Brereton AM RFD presented the NSW Employer Support Award 2011 to the Head of Campus at CSU in Wagga Wagga, Mr Adrian Lindner. The award was presented because 'Charles Sturt University is an organisation that values and supports its Defence Reserves. It has made generous provision in its employment policies to allow individuals to undertake their Reserve Service'. CSU was nominated for the award by Army Reservist Major Wendy DeLuca, who is a lecturer with the School of Education at CSU in Wagga Wagga.  CSU has provision within its leave policy for staff involved in the ADF Reserves.
