An academic parade through the heart of Wagga Wagga to mark the start of three days of graduation ceremonies at Charles Sturt University will be held on Tuesday 17 April 2007. The Town and Gown procession along Bayliss Street is symbolic of the close relationship that has developed between the University and the Wagga Wagga City Council over many years, and will include University Councillors, Wagga Wagga City Councillors, academic staff, general staff, and students who will graduate over the following days. Additionally, staff from the Riverina Institute of TAFE, the Rural Clinical School and Wagga Wagga City Council have been invited to attend. A band will lead the procession and a formal reception will be held after the procession at the Wagga Wagga Civic Theatre in Bayliss Street.
