The People Behind the Impact

At Charles Sturt University, philanthropy is more than just fundraising - it’s about removing barriers, creating opportunities, and changing lives. Behind every scholarship awarded, every research breakthrough supported, and every initiative made possible through giving, there’s a dedicated team working tirelessly to connect generosity with impact.

The Advancement Office is at the heart of this work, building relationships with donors, alumni, industry partners, and students to ensure that every contribution makes a meaningful difference. But who are the people behind the scenes, turning generosity into action?

In this section, meet the passionate professionals who make it all happen - the storytellers, connectors, and changemakers who ensure that philanthropy at Charles Sturt doesn’t just fund education - it transforms futures.
