Student Cultural Ambassadors
Richmond’s Cultural Ambassadors work with new students to help them integrate into the Richmond community by offering advice and guidance about how to access University services and programmes and how to abide by university policies and procedures while studying at the University. Student Cultural Ambassadors will play an important role in new student orientation and may be asked to resolve issues that arise due to cultural differences.

Cultural Ambassador for South Asia
Hi, I’m Ahsan Abbas, and I’m excited to serve as a Cultural Ambassador for the 2026–2027 academic year. I’m passionate about bringing people together and celebrating the diversity of cultures within our university community. I have visited more than five countries, which has given me the opportunity to experience different cultures and perspectives. I enjoy meeting new people, creating connections, and helping students feel welcomed and included. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect, learn more about different cultures, or get involved in student activities and events.

Annet Masinde
Cultural Ambassador for West Africa
Hi, I’m Annet! I wear a few hats here at Richmond — Peer Tutor, Cultural Ambassador, Student Hub Assistant, and Residential Advisor — but the thread running through all of them is the same: I genuinely care about making your experience here as smooth, supported, and enjoyable as possible. Whether you need academic guidance and a safe space to ask questions without judgement, someone to help you feel seen and celebrated within our beautifully diverse community, a friendly face at the Student Hub to point you in the right direction, or a reliable presence in your residence when university life feels a little overwhelming, I am here for all of it. I have been in your shoes — navigating a new environment, new expectations, and new people — and I want to be the person I wished I had when I first arrived. My door, both literally and figuratively, is always open
