Welcome to the website of the Taiwanese American Students' Association (TASA) of Princeton University. We hope this site will help you learn about our organization and its activities. Please check back often for upcoming events and other updates!
Remember how The Little Engine that Could and The Very Hungry Caterpillar brightened your childhoods? For $1 and 20 minutes, you can do the same for another kid!
Donate a gently used children’s book (or buy one from us for $1) and we’ll provide the equipment for you to record yourself reading the book. Write a few words of encouragement inside, and we’ll send the book and recording to an underprivileged community in Taiwan, providing an inspirational resource for kids learning English.
Read: Pick out a favorite book.
Record: Read it out loud at our service event.
Replay: We’ll ship your read-along to Taiwan to inspire underprivileged children.
Fiesta – aka party – aka party in your mouth this Friday! What’s that? It’s FREE?! HOLY MOLY jump on this opportunity to try taco flavors from around the world (well, two continents, but that’s pretty good, right?). Join TASA, Chicano Caucus, & KASA for a taco-tasting bonanza! It’s like a wine tasting, but with scrumptious tacos & refreshments served by yours truly.
Expect to be there the whole time in order to enjoy all of the food we have prepared!
The line-up
6:10 : Chicano Caucus presents Mexican tacos & horchata
6:30 : KASA presents Korean bulgogi tacos & Yakult
6:50 : TASA presents Taiwanese gua bao & Apple Sidra
If you haven’t already, fill out this survey if you’re interested in TASA families, frosh council, or TASAssins.
If you’re wondering what each of these things are:
TASA families: Our way of welcoming frosh into Princeton! The way it works: non-freshmen sign up to be TASA parents; freshmen sign up to be assigned to a pair of TASA parents. Yes, you can request to get “married” to a specific person (consensual, please). After you get a TASA family, your parents might take you out to a meal, hang out at Twist… it’s a fun time. So sign up!
TASA Frosh Council: The best way for frosh to begin getting involved in TASA. We organize several study breaks and the annual all-you-can-make buffet. Come join us =]
TASAssins: You will be given an assignment. Last man standing wins. If you haven’t heard of assassins before, read up. Its good fun, and gets pretty intense! (TASA secret: our president is actually Hit Girl).
Well, its not exactly friday. But Dawen gave us a shoutout on his translation of the song, Friday!
(When he was performing at Asian Nightmarket a few weeks back, Dawen challenged us to name a song, and he’d play it. Our social chair yelled out ‘friday!!’, and…was inspired to write this.)
