A History of Achievement Book Launch

CAS proudly launched 'A History of Achievement', a book that explores the Centres rich history and the achievements of past and present colleagues and students.

Curtin University would like to pay our respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Bentley Campus is located, the Wadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie Campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
