Our congratulations to Karlie Noon who became the first Indigenous
student to obtain a Masters of Astronomy and Astrophysics Advanced
from the Australian National University.
Karlie reflected that being vulnerable and not knowing is an
important part of the educational journey,
as she initially dropped out of school at 13 before deciding that
her interests lay in astronomy.
As a CASS co-supervised student,
Karlie received supervision from ANU and CASS staff while she
worked on her project, studying the
3-D velocity vectors of high velocity clouds.
On her graduation day, Karlie tweeted her pride in
representing the Gomeroi (also rendered as Gamilaraay) people.
