Josie Castle

Josie Castle arrived in Wollongong in 1969 in time to participate in the campaign for autonomy from the University of NSW and at a time when there were no student-support services apart from those provided informally by staff.

The University College as it then was had only 1000 students and ties between students and staff were close as they worked together to build a new University.
