1 JANUARY 2003

An annual prize to highlight a Charles Sturt University (CSU) graduate’s commitment to social justice will be donated to The Edel Quinn Shelter, a homeless support service for men in Wagga Wagga. Bachelor of Social Work graduate Mrs Michelle Knight from Wagga Wagga has been awarded the Lila Kirilik Memorial Social Justice Award  for her project, SHINE - Squalor and Hoarding Integrated Networking Enterprise, adirectory of services and their contacts in Wagga Wagga that can  help during cases of squalor  or hoarding. The project was compiled while Mrs Knight was doing her workplace learning in 2008 at The Forrest Centre, a service for the aged and disabled people in Wagga Wagga. Mrs Knight said, “I am donating the $500 prize to the Edel Quinn Shelter because of the organisation’s help in putting together the network”. The Lila Kirilik Social Action Award was established by the School of Humanities and Social Sciences in Wagga Wagga in 2004 in honour of the late Ms Lila Kirilik, a senior lecturer in social welfare at CSU.
