Warm greetings from the Taiwan-America Student Conference!
I am reaching out to inform you about an incredible and unique opportunity for university students this summer in Taiwan: the 2018 Taiwan-America Student Conference (TASC)! This student-led conference encourages students to network with peers from both Taiwan and the United States, and meanwhile gain leadership experience in an international context. This program would serve as a great benefit to any student with an interest in building leadership skills, and therefore it would be greatly appreciated if you helped broadcast this exciting opportunity by forwarding the following email to students of all fields and backgrounds. Please feel free to contact our team at executivecommittee@taiwan-amer
Taiwan America Student Conference (TASC) is a 3-week intensive leadership conference that brings together 30 outstanding university students of all fields from across Taiwan and the United States. TASC is nonprofit and entirely student-run, and will be held from July 14 to August 4, 2018. Our purpose is to develop strong, global connections among delegates by evaluating mutual concern and understanding across cultural and national boundaries.
During this program, delegates will travel around Taiwan while engaging in various activities with the following objectives in mind:
- Excursions to important cultural, political and historical locations and organizations.
- Lectures and networking opportunities with prominent figures from a variety of fields, ie.) professors, entrepreneurs, doctors, etc.
- Exchange of viewpoints and perspectives on pressing issues among societies of both the U.S. and Taiwan.
- Roundtable groups, composed of 8 students (4 U.S., 4 Taiwan), with a final forum aimed to facilitate dialogue and increase students’ mutual understandings of a particular topic of interest.
These activities, among others, will encourage students to gain a greater insight on their respective countries, acquire international and practical leadership experience, and join a lasting community of professional connections. Not to mention, participants are sure to develop lifelong friendships over the course of the program. Students will grow professionally, academically, and personally, and together make TASC an exceptionally unique, fun, and life-changing experience.
The application form attached can also be found on our website. The deadline for applications is March 21 at 11:59PM EST. Undergraduate, graduate students, and recent graduates of any major are welcome to apply.
