On 15th March 2023, the Embassy held the Ambassador’s prize ceremony for Japanese
language students from Massey University and Victoria University. Each of the recipients was
selected as the most outstanding Japanese language student for each year from 2020 to 2022 in
their courses at their respective universities. Recipients of the Ambassador’s prize are:
Ms Hannah Rose Lee: 2020 Recipient – Massey University
Ms Carol Geraldine Torres Tamayo: 2022 Recipient – Massey University
Ms Jordan Schulde: 2020 Recipient – Victoria University of Wellington
Mr Joshua Jeffery: 2022 Recipient – Victoria University of Wellington
*Mr Joel Coutts (2021 Recipient – Massey University) and Ms Alexandra Atkins (2022 Recipient –
Victoria University of Wellington) also received the prize in absentia.
The Embassy has held the ceremony for about 15 years for the purpose of acknowledging the
hard work of Japanese language students at both universities. We are glad to be able to hold this
for the first time since COVID started.
We congratulate all the recipients for their success, and hope that they will keep up the good
work in the future.
