Charles Sturt University (CSU) is an Australian multi-campus public university located in New South Wales, Victoria, and the Australian Capital Territory. Established in 1989, it was named in honour of Captain Charles Sturt, a British explorer who made expeditions into regional New South Wales and South Australia. The university has campuses at Bathurst, Canberra, Albury-Wodonga, Dubbo, Goulburn, Orange, Port Macquarie, Wagga Wagga and Burlington, Ontario (Canada).〔〔 It has specialist centres in North Parramatta, Manly (Sydney), and Broken Hill. Courses are also delivered in conjunction with Study Group Australia in Sydney and Melbourne (known as ''CSU Study Centres'').〔 CSU also has various course delivery partnerships with several TAFE institutions across the country.〔〔〔〔 == History == Charles Sturt University was established on 1 July 1989 from the merger of several existing separately-administered Colleges of Advanced Education including the Mitchell College of Advanced Education in Bathurst, the Riverina-Murray Institute of Higher Education in Albury-Wodonga and the Riverina College of Advanced Education in Wagga Wagga, through the enactment of The Charles Sturt University Act, 1989 (Act No. 76, 1989). It is named in honour of explorer Charles Sturt. The Mitchell College of Advanced Education had been formed on 1 January 1970, and the Riverina Murray Institute of Education campus in Wagga Wagga and Albury-Wodonga had operated since 1984. The latter institution had earlier succeeded the Riverina College of Advanced Education, which was itself the result of an even earlier merger between Wagga Agricultural College and the Wagga Wagga Teachers College.〔 In 1998, CSU established the first Study Centre in Sydney〔(CSU Study Centre, Sydney )〕 and then in Melbourne〔(CSU Study Centre, Melbourne )〕 in 2007. These study centres are operated by a private education group called Study Group Australia.〔(International – CSU Study Centres )〕 On 1 January 2005, CSU formalised moves to assume control of the University of Sydney's Orange campus, which came into force on 1 January 2005. In 2013 the University implemented a gas engine cogeneration power plant to help minimise fuel costs and carbon emissions.〔(Charles Sturt University Cogeneration Plant ), www.clarke-energy.com, Retrieved 16 September 2013〕 On 10 July 2007, fire destroyed a chemistry laboratory at the University's Wagga Wagga campus〔(Fire destroys uni lab, The Australian, 10 July 2007 )〕 On 14 February 2011 CSU changed its logo. The sturt desert pea flower (''Swainsona formosa'') is now stylised and made prominent, with the full name of the university as part of its logo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Sturt University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
