The Intercollegiate Taiwanese American Students Association (ITASA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing events and resources that explore and celebrate the Taiwanese American identity in order to inspire, empower, and activate its community.

We aim to:

• EXPLORE the perspectives that exist within the Taiwanese American identity
• INSPIRE our participants to think about their identity, how it relates to the world, and what place they have it in
• EMPOWER our participants with the resources to further develop their personal identities wherever they may go
• ACTIVATE our community, create a voice that represents us in larger arenas, making Taiwanese Americans an influential force in society
• BUILD unity and STRENGTHEN relationships amongst the Taiwanese American Student Associations (TASA)
• GUIDE participants towards becoming better leaders by redefining their TASAs and themselves

As a corollary to these objectives, ITASA specifically strives to accomplish the following:

• DEVELOP the next generation of successful Taiwanese American leaders who will be responsible members of the Asian American community and society
• PROMOTE a culture of good citizenship, giving back and volunteerism in the Taiwanese American community
• CELEBRATE diversity in culture, heritage, identity, and ideas both within and outside the Taiwanese American community, including traditional Chinese culture and indigenous Taiwanese culture
• ENGAGE in discussion of Taiwan’s democratic advancements in relation to the world community and especially in relation to the People’s Republic of China
