On the day members of the community were invited to take part in campus tours, fun games, live music and stalls to commemorate 200 years of colonial settlement.
Courtney Haynes, community relations officer at CSU Port Macquarie said it was about the university giving back to the community that had supported it.
“The community day is really about showing off the university and inviting people to come and have a look around,” Ms Haynes said.
“It was a good opportunity for people who haven’t been out to see us yet to come and look around the campus but it was all about giving back to a community that has been so supportive of us.”
On the day there was also traditional dancing and live food demonstrations by local Aboriginal elders and professor Heather Cavanagh, acting head of campus said the day encouraged locals to come and enjoy what the CSU community had to offer.
This comes as the local university campus in 2018 started offering on campus living for its students.
