About Us

The Division of Student Experience provides strategic leadership and delivery of innovative non-academic services across the student lifecycle, easing administrative burden and creating engaging and motivating touchpoints for students and stakeholders. The Division works across the University to bring together student experience functions for a seamless and engaging student journey from initial enquiry to becoming a proud alum. Student Experience is the first point of contact for students, advocating for the student voice and ensuring our students are at the centre of our thinking and processes.

The Division works closely with the Chief Operating Officer, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic) and leaders of divisions, faculties and schools to map, understand and improve the end-to-end student lifecycle and is critical to ensuring that Charles Sturt delivers on its commitment to be Australia's leading regional university.

We are a university of the land and people of our regions. True to the character of regional Australia we have gumption, we have soul and we collaborate with others. We develop holistic, far-sighted people who help their communities grow and flourish.
