Region Riverina | Record 40 students graduate from uni without leaving home town at Griffith remote learning centre
A record 40 students have received degrees from universities across Australia in 2023-24 through a remote learning facility enabling them to study without leaving their home town of Griffith or Leeton.
The Country Universities Centre (CUC) Western Riverina held a graduation ceremony on Friday (29 November) to celebrate this achievement.
Given that neither Griffith nor Leeton has a university, the centre was established in 2019 to provide students enrolled in courses at tertiary institutions and TAFE with access to a campus-like facility with computers, internet access, academic advisers, programs, social events and mentorship while they studied remotely.
