Integral to the success of the Virtual Exchange Collaborative, the Virtual Exchange Ambassadors played a crucial role in enhancing the program's effectiveness and expanding its reach. Their responsibilities encompassed overseeing virtual exchange programs across various faculties, managing registration processes, responding to inquiries, and conducting orientations to elucidate the goals of the VE program. Furthermore, they underwent specialized cross-cultural dialogue facilitation training, leading sessions with international participants.

During the initial stages of the invasion of Gaza and subsequent genocide, the Ambassadors significantly boosted student participation in virtual exchange programs. They adeptly navigated several topics, offering support sessions and continuous follow-up, particularly focused on helping An-Najah students contextualize the historical aspects of Apartheid and current realities for their international virtual exchange peers.

The Ambassadors also facilitated small group virtual discussions with students from Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and Elon University, aimed at raising awareness of the on-ground situation.

Dr. Alkhayyat, the Vice President of Academic Affairs, expressed, "It is inspiring to see the Virtual Exchange Ambassadors step up and provide support to their peers during such a devastating period."

• Beesan Walid Jian – Senior Ambassador
