Ms Sue McGinn OAM graduated in April 2006 with an MBA from Charles Sturt University, which she undertook to enhance her contribution as Dairy Farmers group's sole female Director.
The decision to study at CSU was an extremely easy one to make. The University offered all the flexibility required to study while working full-time and travelling overseas. With the ability to fast-track my studies with the three-session timetable, CSU was the obvious choice.
The issues and topics we are learning in class are relevant to the industry today. The importance placed on career management has been highlighted in a few of my recent subjects and this is one very valuable tool regarding the workforce.
