Russian girl included at any academic occasion (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tanya

'russian girl' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'included at any academic occasion' is the wordplay.
'included' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'includes' mean this).
'TANYA' is hidden within 'at any academic occasion'.

(Another definition for tanya that I've seen is " Russian girl".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
