LISMORE Aviation Expo's new sponsor knows the sky's the limit when you pursue a real passion.

Southern Cross University is hosting an open day for all students on Saturday July 28 at its Lismore campus and a stand at the Lismore Aviation Expo on Sunday July 29.

The open day coincides with the All About Aviation education day at the Lismore Aviation Centre, making it an excellent day for all prospective students to see what is out there and what inspires them.

Whether it's taking to the skies as a commercial airline pilot or delving the oceans deep as a marine biologist, becoming a human rights lawyer or obtaining a masters in surfing, Southern Cross University can help you turn a dream into a reality.

Lismore City Council's Business Development Coordinator Danielle Hanigan said they are thrilled to have SCU aboard as a major sponsor for this year's expo.

"We have a really big aviation education and training industry in Lismore and I think Southern Cross is a great fit for this event,” Ms Hanigan said.

"The Southern Cross University open day is a great chance to visit the campus and take a look at the facilities, layout and services on offer.

"You can also come out to the All About Aviation education day and even take a discovery flight! We have a limited number of these flights on the day, so be sure to book so you don't miss out.”

The Southern Cross University open day on Saturday is a great chance to talk face-to-face with lecturers, current students, graduates and course advisers who can give you an insight into Southern Cross courses and help you to decide which course is right for you.

Details on information sessions and activities will be released soon, but in the meantime, register your interest at scu.edu.au/openday.

If you can't make the open day, come and talk to the friendly Southern Cross staff at the Lismore Aviation Expo on Sunday, July 29.
