Established in 1993, ITASA connects our greater Taiwanese American intercollegiate community and gives budding leaders an opportunity to run an non-profit organization.

Our Mission

The Intercollegiate Taiwanese American Student Association (ITASA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting college students from across the country to the Taiwanese American community. We do so by connecting, inspiring and empowering our intercollegiate student network with a range of programs and events. Our goal is to build a national network of people passionate about Taiwan and Taiwanese American issues while educating and empowering the next generation of our nation’s leaders in the process. Every year, our organization works with over a hundred student organizations nationwide and plans events from coast to coast.

building leaders

ITASA provides an invaluable opportunity for collegiate students across the country to experience running a non-profit as part of the National Board. Working along with a Board of Directors, the National Board manages day-to-day activities of ITASA, with many student leaders later becoming further involved in non-profits and other organizations in the greater Taiwanese American and Asian American community.
