23.01.2022 Charles Darwin University will celebrate the academic achievements of more than 1200 students at virtual graduation ceremonies tomorrow night. Acting Pro Vice-Chancellor Student Engagement and Success Sam Jacob said social distancing and travel restrictions prevented plans to celebrate major student milestones in person, so CDU opted for an all-digital virtual format. The event will feature multiple ceremonies taking place simultaneously online, with a multitude of guest stud...ent speakers including PhD graduand Dr Belinda Davison. Dr Davison is the Life Course Program project manager at Menzies School of Health Research, which aims to examine the effect of early life events on later health and disease. She will graduate with a PhD titled Chronic stress exposure and emotional wellbeing in Australian Indigenous and non-Indigenous young adults. Other student speakers include College of Education graduand Sharyn Bury, College of Indigenous Futures, Arts and Society graduand BP Bhandari, College of Nursing and Midwifery graduand Rachelle Reyes and Asia Pacific College of Business and Law graduand Gabrielle Hill. The public is invited to tune into the virtual graduation ceremony on Friday, 18 September from 7pm NT time by visiting this link: https://graduation.cdu.edu.au/ https://www.cdu.edu.au//students-celebrate-academic-achiev

The works reflect my experiences in the Territory and the album will be released sometime next year. I’m looking forward to premiering some new tunes in these concerts to a NT audience said Francis Diatschenko. Having performed in some of worlds most revered venues and festivals including Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera House and Glastonbury Festival, this will be Diatschenko’s first solo tour through the Territory. At this time of year Francis is normally touring the world circuit.
