John ‘Foxy’ Robinson AO has come a long way from leaving school at 13, to receiving an honorary doctorate from Charles Darwin University (CDU). 

The University will bestow an honorary doctorate on the renowned Territorian for his entrepreneurship and philanthropy, and in recognitions of his contribution to the NT’s tourism and hospitality sectors. 

He received the honorary doctorate on April 24 alongside hundreds of graduates at the CDU graduations. 

A new generation of thinkers and innovators got a taste of what it’s like to study Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) alongside real academics in the second year of a Charles Darwin University (CDU) mentoring program. 

Students from Casuarina Senior College toured the University’s Casuarina campus science and technology facilities for the beginning of CDU and Inspired NT’s Stage 2 Real Science Program. 

Two Charles Darwin University (CDU) students who are passionate about contributing to their community are paving the way for other young Territorians to make a difference. 

Ashleigh Dawe, 21 and Peter Susanto, 17 are two of six Ambassadors for the Northern Territory Youth Week, a week designed to bring young Territorians together to have fun, express ideas around engaging youth and raise concerns about issues that matter to them.
