R.I.A.N’s initial project will be in support of an alumnus, Olu Tejan Cole, who returned to his country of birth (Sierra Leone) to help rebuild it following a disastrous war. While attending Richmond, Olu participated in Richmond’s Career Apprenticeship and International Field Study Programme in Sierra Leone. While there, Olu worked alongside Ed Bentham, chair of the Atlantic Whale Foundation (AWF), of which Olu later became a trustee. Ed Bentham was formerly a professor at Richmond University and so it follows that R.I.A.N is a product of the university’s continued relationship with Richmond alumnus Olu Cole and former Richmond faculty, Ed Bentham.
Our team is advised by Dr. Sabine Spangenberg, Professor of Economics and Finance and is registered as a part of the Richmond Foundation, charity number 288205.
