The Wiradjuri phrase yindyamarra winhanganha means the wisdom of
respectfully knowing how to live well in a world worth living in. This phrase
represents who we are at Charles Sturt University – our ethos. It comes from
traditional Indigenous Australian knowledge, but it also speaks to the mission
of universities – to develop and spread wisdom to make the world a better
place.
Harnessing technology, we thrive as a distributed yet connected community,
welcoming and engaging with people across Australia and the world.
