The University of Rhode Island’s Multicultural Student Services Center invites members of the URI community to nominate an undergraduate or graduate student for the Asian Cultural Ambassador Awards.

The Asian Cultural Ambassador Award recognizes students who actively promote awareness, appreciation, and celebration of Asian cultures. Established in collaboration with the Chinese Culture Club, the award honors individuals who have made meaningful contributions to promoting Asian culture or heritage, advancing cross-cultural understanding, and fostering a more inclusive campus community. Through their engagement at URI, recipients serve as ambassadors of connection and unity. Each recipient will receive a $500 award in recognition of their efforts.

Nominations should be submitted online by Sunday, April 19. Students may also self-nominate.

Awards will be presented during the University’s Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month celebration on Thursday, April 30.
